Just to be sure, these are the VX6's they cleared out a year or so ago correct? Or the newer HD version? They have different internals.
The erector system is the same.
Could a baggage handler F up any scope though?
Get a scope that was built as an aiming device first, pare it with a mounting system that is built for abuse and watch all the "baggage handlers messed my zero up" nonsense go away.
