Just riding around on a four wheeler with the rifle bungeed on the back in a canvas case knocked out an old Redfield and a newer Leupold. Weird thing was I tested them and they seemed ok only to miss easy shots with them later, wandering zero? Now they go on the front in a hard case.
A good scope like a Leupold (contrary to the fire's curmudgeon contingents opinions) can take quite a beating. A cheap scope can go off just from riding in the trunk on a bumpy road. Drop one from a tree stand and it is back to the range to test or you are just wasting your time hunting and risk wounding an animal.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
