[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1814490, member: 91402"] About thirty years ago I was crossing a talus slope on a sheep hunt and the whole thing started to move. It's not that unusual and if you can keep your balance it may only go a short way and stop but this one went over a short drop and I ended up falling full on my rifle, heavy pack and all. When I got off the slope and checked the rifle the scope's objective lens was noticeable bent downward right at the threads. I was in the middle of a trip so I just grabbed it and bent it back upward. While I was looking for a place to fire it and check it out I came across a nice ram. I got within a couple hundred yards and fired a shot and it was right on the money. It was an old Lyman scope and I used it for a couple more years after that. [/QUOTE]
