[QUOTE="ramrod79, post: 1770974, member: 58107"] Being a serious Sheep hunter for 25+ years now I had my guns and scopes take a beating from horses falling on guns in scabbards to rubbing on trees to falling down in steep rocky areas and with good quality optics i have yet to be off zero BUT I always check!A person has enough wrecks they get complacent and think well it’s never been out should be good to go but it’s not worth wounding or missing over just firing one shot to recheck. I came out from a hunt one day where my sling broke gun fell off my shoulder and I couldn’t catch it in time rattled of me then ground I was POed. There I am walking out that mid afternoon, and there on open hill side stood a 5 point bull 475 yards just staring at me walking out the old logging road. I went into set up mode to shoot then remembered my gun clunking off the turf and I just watched him walk off. Got out to truck found a good spot to check rifle on a rock at a few hundred yards and well hell it was on BUT not knowing is like not verifying your animal legal before shoot just not proper.
