[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2388657, member: 10755"] Yes, and I lost a huge Sambar because of it, he would have gone 30”-32”, which is huge here in Australia. The reason has had me gutted for several years. I was hunting with Dad, in his truck and while I was getting binos and rangefinder sorted and ready, he decided to unzip the gun bags before getting them out of the truck. When he was getting mine out, the rifle slipped out and the scope landed straight onto the tow hitch….he failed to tell me it had fallen. When I fired at the deer, it impacted feet to the left totally missing the animal. That was the end of that….. When I tried to verify zero back at the truck, he then proceeded to tell me what had happened. The scope, a Leupold VX-iii 3.5-10, was physically damaged just near the wind age turret. I sent it in and got the tube replaced. I am not angry that it fell, just perplexed that he didn’t say anything. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
