[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2333284, member: 118816"] Scopes are finicky things. They are mostly designed for magnum types of recoils which are for all practical purposes front and rear as the scope is mounted on the rifle. Now throw in lateral forces as in dropped or fall down a hill then you have exceeded design limitations. It all depends upon the shock received and from what direction as to what will happen. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. It is literally a crap shoot that is dependent on the individual scope and the angle of impact. Check the rifles zero if there is any question at all. The zero you check can mean the difference of that monster of a lifetime and the monster wondering where that supersonic crack of the bullet passing by several feet away came from and you wondering how in the H*** you missed such an easy shot.
