[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 2389205, member: 108611"] Nothing worse than an oops and the rifle is on the deck. I had an assistant guide on a WT hunt in Nebraska knock over my rifle causing it to hit the ground in pre-dawn light. Knocked zero off. Missed 2 good WT bucks that am. Missed a chance on mule deer buck in 180-200 “ range since 400 yards and wouldn’t risk the shot. I tried zeroing in with paper on a tree. Luckily I had a back up rifle back in the motel, but never saw bucks as good as those on first day. Have since replaced scopes and mounts w/o issue even though they have made 4 trips to South Africa, Europe and all over the West. [/QUOTE]
