[QUOTE="Outcast2.0, post: 2388965, member: 121288"] Personal experience- I was walking into the blind opening morning of gun season and I set my rifle against the side of the blind as I was crawling in, it slid down and landed right on the bell of the scope probably a foot and half fall? Definitely enough to be very concerned over. I instantly had the oh crap moment that I just botched it. I sat the rest of the day extremely concerned. The next morning I shot my rifle and it shot 1” high at 100 yards, which was exactly where I had zeroed it in. I accredit that to use to using good rings and a good scope- leupold vx3. I think it largely depends obviously on how the scope landed- height, force, etc. in addition to the equipment you’re using- scope/ rings. Any fall or bump could potentially change 0…. I guess being careful is the only way to eliminate that concern [/QUOTE]
