[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2957502, member: 83259"] It’s not really people dropping their rifles just randomly. It’s rifle being strapped to packs and people slipping, trips and falls and random rifle tip overs. Ever been in a fresh burn after rain or snow? There is a good chance you won’t be on your feet the entire time. Last year hiking in the dark I somehow had a little 8” tall burned out oak stob go up the cuff of my pants on a steep downhill. The rifle was in my hands and when I went to take a step and that foot was more or less cemented in place. I went down HARD and the rifle (unloaded) flew about 6’ down the hill onto nothing but rocks. I checked for barrel obstructions and then shot a bull 2 hours later because it was a scope I had drop tested numerous times and I have TONS of faith in that scope. Before my next hunt I did a quick zero check. Having faith in your optic is a great feeling.[ATTACH]514842[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
