Europeans often use big scopes for shooting from stands at night. In this type of hunting, the rifle is rarely carried, and weight or bulkiness is not an issue. The scope is in quick-detach claw mounts, so it can easily be removed for more active open-sight hunting. It's not how I would have it built, but then it's not my rifle. There are several other details that I would change if it were mine, but it's not, and I just appreciate it for what it is.
