Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters how much bump will cause a rifle to lose zero

I’ve taken a couple of hard falls with Leupold scopes. Once in a rock slide area that really mangled a new walnut stock. Scope unhurt and held zero. Another walking downhill on an ice covered gravel logging road and the next think I knew my feet were in the air, my head hitting the road, and my rifle clattered down the roadbed. The scope was dinged up pretty badly so I went to the backup rifle for the rest of the hunt. I checked zero when I got home and it was spot on. Both were VX-II’s.
