[QUOTE="rsbhunter, post: 2325112, member: 5850"] As a wrench in the gear scenario, I have a Sightron SIII 10-50 that I shoot in comp. While in a cleaning cradle, A pet jump up and knocked it to the floor, (about 3') wood over cement. I panicked, looked over the scope, seemed fine. Took it to range, and at 100 yards did a box test. Dot, 20 moa up, right, down and left. Each 3shot group Was centered in dots. Thought I had dodged a bullet...next match, adjusted scope for range from 0 to 2.5 moa, 4.5 moa and 7.75 moa.....score was in the low 20's, when normally 36-38 out of 40!!!!!! Shot a second match, because the box test had gone so great, and scores were in the toilet. Sent the scope to Sightron, explained the damage was my fault. They found a bent wind age screw, and an internal part tweaked. No charge!!! But, this shows that when you do what should be done to test, it's not always the last word . rsbhunter [/QUOTE]
