[QUOTE="SES50, post: 240744, member: 7753"] I just got back from Colorado hunting Mule Deer and Elk this year and did a couple of long hikes with my 12 pounder. I got into some thick brush a few times and my backpack usually got alot more hung up on stuff than my rifle. Now the new rifle did come back with its fair share of scratches but I did not buy it to sit and look pretty. Now after all those hike I never did see a legal elk to shoot. Saw a couple bulls without brow tines but that is a different story. I ended up shooting my muley at 530 yards and had an issue with my exposed windage knob being spun 1.5 MOA as I pulled the rifle from the scabbard. There was no wind and I never checked it before taking the shot. This caused me to shoot my deer in the behind the ear instead of in the high shoulder where I was aiming. I would like to find a scope with a covered windage knob that does not protrude a mile. I have come up short so far. SES50 [/QUOTE]
