[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 779389, member: 61747"] Actually the scope never hit anything it was the barrel. The rifle was in my back pack and I knocked it over in the dark while getting ready to hike up the mountain. The barrel smacked the pavement! Yeah, irritated at that little moronic move for sure. I liken it to whacking the barrel from the side with a hammer. Pretty jolting I would imagine but I wouldn't think enough to damage a night force. Unfortunately there are no NF rails in town. I have to order it on line. In fact there are no steel picatinny style basis anywhere around here for a long action savage. I bought this scope used off LRH from a guy in MT. He said is was safe queen and it looked like it. I will have to install another scope and see what happens. I ran out of time and light to swap last night as I thought I had a working load and 2.25" of drop from 100 to 200. That all got thrown out with my last group that wound up being 2.5" higher. good grief. The drop works out to be right around 2975 to 3025. Of course I can't rely on that at this point since elevation is all screwed up. [/QUOTE]
