Default Binoculars

A bit boring maybe, but ...

Do many players have binoculars? Do they actively use them (does the ref make them say "i use bins" to get the modifier?)? Do they help with encounters and encounter ranges?

Something i've only just learned/started to adjust for is encounter ID. For instance if marauders were sighted at 1,000m i used to say "you see bandits on the road ahead, 1,000m". But really at that distance, you only see "group of 6 - 8 men". You likely couldn't tell uniforms, much less intentions of the group. So now i game it you have to "close" to the encounter (maybe 300m with bins") in order to get more detail on the group (uniforms, gun types, cohesiveness, intentions).
