[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 1096342, member: 39303"] Sort of a miss but it worked out pretty good. Michigan firearm deer season a few years ago. I was hunting with a h&r .30-30 single shot. Zeroed it a week before the season at 100 yards. Just looking to fill a doe tag, had a mature doe present a 40 yard broadside shot. I was shooting from a box blind so I had adequate support. I break the shot, she drops. I thought I had broke her shoulders. When I go to field dress her, no blood, the chest cavity is clean. Turns out, my tasco 3-9x40 decided to no longer hold zero. It was a perfect head shot. Shot it later that day and discovered that the scope was toast. Lesson learned. Don't go cheap on optics [/QUOTE]
