Crashing on a Rifle Scope
You slip on a sidehill and to crashing down on the rocks with your rifle underneath you. The scope is badly damaged and gouged and is obviously took a whallop of a hit – bigger than if some hoodlum stole 2 laptops. You are now faced with a choice or choices. You can assume that the scope has not been knocked out of whack and continue to hunt. or you can fire your rifle to check its zero and risk spooking any game around . What is a wise and recommended course of action ?
The experienced Lake Manitoba Canada outdoorsman J. Transcona recommends that a good scope can take an awful course of abuse and still hold its adjustment. Still it is not worth assuming that this is the case. Pick a spot – a few inches off a dead tree, pace off 25 yards, and fire a single shot. If you are “zeroed’ to hit 3 inches high at 100 yards , the shot should to 1 inch at 25. If that checks out and the windage is still okay , then keep hunting at Lake Manitoba Narrows. If the bullet goes high or wide – then it is back to the hunting Lodge or camp at the narrows to rezero. Do not worry about inadvertently spooking game with your shot. Jadran remarks that he has personally watched “critters” react to a nearby gunshot. The animals and game will pick up their heads, listen and sniff or a moment , a minute or two and then go about their business. Its all in a days hunting.
