So last week I was out bear hunting with my good friend @338dude and we were scooting down a trail, headed downhill through some rocky terrain when I stepped on a large rock that rolled right out from under me. I was carrying my 6cm on my right shoulder on a sling, and it pitched me that direction, forcing me to plant my right hand. My rifle whipped off my shoulder with the momentum and it centered a large rock directly on the elevation turret of my Leupold Mark V. It was a very hard impact. Scratched the scope in several places, and even took a small chunk out of the elevation turret. It was the last afternoon of our hunt and there was nowhere to check zero, so I continued mission. Never got a shot opportunity, but I was expecting a huge poi shift when I had a chance to check it. I finally got the time to put it on paper today, and I was impressed with what I saw. There was maybe a .1mil shift in poi, if any. I wouldnt have been surprised to see that it has shifted a foot based on the severity of the impact, but it had shifted left a half inch at 200y, which honestly could have been atmospherics, even barrel break in, (the barrel only has about 40 rounds through it), or a half dozen other things. I was always impressed by the durability of the Mark IV's we used in the Army, but this one was impressive.
