I hunted with this dent in my scope for years. As long as it holds zero just hunt with it.

I used that scope with the dent in it for a long time and killed a bunch of critters. Probably 15 years after denting it I was sending Leupold a couple of scopes for turrets so I sent that old dented varri-XII in for a warenty checkout, the tube was bent so Leupold sent me a new scope.
