And full of "answers" that don't indicate any sort of definitive trend. Though I'll provide one:
Have seen two scopes visibly bent in the front end due to falls, one inside a horse scabbard when the horse fell. Both of those scopes were out of zero.
Both were Leupolds, but suspect that any brand of scope would lose zero when the front end bends.
I bent the tube visibly on an old Lyman All American years ago, it was probably a half inch of bend, so I made no attempt to see if it was in zero.
