[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1770949, member: 75451"] The scene: Sheep hunting, riding behind someone on a new, borrowed 4-wheeler, his pack/rifle, ect. on front, my pack/rifle,ect. on the back. Fast forward to operator error ( I later found out it was only his 2nd. time driving a 4-wheeler), and barrel-rolling 200+ yards down a steep hill! The riders parted company with the 4-wheeler within the first roll. Our hunting equipment was deposited along the 200 yards. I was very lucky, he, not so much. He finished the sheep hunt (though injured) with a borrowed rifle. He got neck and shoulder surgery after the hunt. I was a little bruised, my spotting scope had a minor bruise, and I checked the zero on my rifle. While it was off a little, 2 or 3 inches @ 100 yards, I expected much worse. Of course, it was a Leupold scope, mounted in Leupold QD base/rings! ;) All of this to say.....it wouldn’t hurt to check your zero. Even though those where pretty minor bumps! memtb [/QUOTE]
