I have a Nikon B700 60X Superzoom camera.

Get closer to what matters
60x optical zoom, 120x Dynamic Fine Zoom
Few shots are too far away for the COOLPIX B700's NIKKOR Super ED glass lens. 60x optical zoom gives you super telephoto power, then Dynamic Fine Zoom, an enhanced digital zoom, effectively doubles that reach for a whopping 120x zoom. Dual Detect Vibration Reduction (VR) counteracts camera shake to keep your shots steady, and a 20-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor captures every detail, even in low light.
Per the manual:
Lens
4.3 to 258 mm - angle of view equivalent to 23 to 1440 mm lens in 35 mm format.
Is there a way to translate the optical zoom (not digital) of the camera to the power of binoculars or a spotting scope?
I have tried to estimate it visually. Looks like about 10X but I don't have a wide range of binoculars or a spotting scope to compare it to.
