I have a Vari-X III (3�-10) riding in Talley aluminum mounts on a Remington Model 7 stainless in 7mm-08, and I dropped it on a rock last week while hunting. The scope hit first, and though the rig is a pretty solid affair, the rock didn't move. Instead, it put some scratches on the side of the ocular bell.
I went home for lunch, and before going back out I took a couple of shots at 50 yards. Two holes, almost touching, one inch high -- no harm done. So here's the question: what would you do to hide the blemishes? The scope is a matte black finish.
Thanks.
Steve.
Steve, I feel your pain, I really do. I hate dinging up scopes. With a stock you can usually repair it, and with the barreled action, well, that's just gonna take some scuffs and scratches the more you hunt with it. I suppose scopes do to, but I hate it when I ding one of mine.
