[QUOTE="tonyf3, post: 2962702, member: 6649"] SHV – 4-14 on a rifle strapped to a pack with an elk meat in it. Pack was probably ~50-55lbs plus 13lb rifle Packing out uphill with snow. I sat down to rest and restrap my rifle. That rifle was barrel heavy and when I stood up and got the pack partially back on the weight threw me off balance and down we went together. The initial impact was on rock, then maybe 2 rolls together and then the pack went another 20 yards. It stopped next to a large rock. the rifle side of the pack was closest to the rock, so I assume the scope and bolt of the rifle met the rock first. The most aggresive impact points were the windage turret and rear of the scope from rear housing to a little past the eyepiece on the right side of the scope. I replaced the bolt knob and had to put on a new trigger because the safety was bent and had a slight jarring to it when running it on/off. I mounted the SHV on a rifle built by one of the smiths that posts here often. That rifle shot touching holes to .5" at 100yrds. I mounted that SHV on his rifle and shot 3 rounds that measured a little more than an inch . I moved the turrets and shot 3 more and same thing. I recall moving up and left 3". it impacted the first shot in the area, but the remaing two being part of a 1" group wandered back. NF was great about the whole thing. No complaints other than the 4mo. of pt on a paritally torn bicep from the whole thing. [/QUOTE]
