[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2974557, member: 114992"] Here's an example of a home grown drop test. Scope is the new maven RS 1.2. I encourage everyone who cares to 1) establish a real zero 2) keep track of your actual zero between hunting/shooting trips 3) test your equipment for durability The shooting setup: property is getting sold so my bench and usual target is gone. This will have to do for now. This is a tikka with a SPR chambered brux in 25 creedmoor. Stock is an alterra that they bedded for me. Sportsmatch t084 rings with 50in/lb on bases and 25in/lb on the rings. [ATTACH type="full"]521410[/ATTACH] Shot a bore sight, adjusted based on the reticle, then shot this group and set the turrets to zero. More shots would be ideal, but pretty confident in the zero. For reference this gun with this load shoots .8-1.2" 10 shot groups. Mostly gets shot at steel and animals. [ATTACH type="full"]521411[/ATTACH] Was not set up to video. Here's the drop setup. 1/2 thick foam mat on top of recently plowed soil. Still fairly hard which made me nervous. I did 3x drops on top, left, right sides all in a row. Height ranged from 28-32". Chickened out on the 36" because the turrets were cutting into the mat; it seemed pretty rough lots of bouncing and vibration noises. The elevation turret slipped a half mil during the drops. Set it back to zero. [ATTACH type="full"]521412[/ATTACH] First shot. Couldn't see it so I ran up to the target to see and took a picture. [ATTACH type="full"]521413[/ATTACH] Shot 4 more. Heart rate was up from all the movement. Starting to get a bit of mirage off my barrel. Rest is not as solid as it could be but.. [ATTACH type="full"]521414[/ATTACH] Seems to have held zero. Shots are all within the expected cone for this gun/load. Will leave this scope on and keep track over time. Very happy with the reticle, glass, and ergonomics of the scope. Glass is very easy to get behind. It might be my favorite reticle I've used. The floating dot is nice, reticle is clean. Totally useable on low and high power. I need to spend more time behind it but so far there is nothing at all to complain about. [/QUOTE]
