Weren’t you earlier in this thread saying that it didn’t matter if a scope lost zero very much-
So now it’s all about “respecting living creatures”? But I guess not enough to find out if your rifle system (including scope) shift zero? Or not enough to choose a system that has a lower likelihood of losing zero.
But you are unable to draw the same correlation to say- use the scope least likely to inadvertently lose zero?
The cognitive disconnect…
No. That’s the entire point of choosing to use aiming devices that work better at steering lethal projectiles.
Yes- if you’re using fragile items and haven’t done the work to know what should or should not cause a “doubt”. Just driving to and from the hunting lease should be causing doubts in people’s minds with most scopes.
You are misrepresenting what I said. I was saying if anyone with any scope takes a fall, they owe it to the animal to verify point of impact. I don't give a frogs dick if it's in the middle of the woods and they're afraid of scaring animals, if they're respectable they verify point of impact.You disagree with that?
Drop tests may create a false sense of retaining zero in the event of a fall. You disagree?
I said earlier that a scope that varies a nominal amount with a good shooter within a cone of fire
is more desirable than a guy with a new dime on the rifle that isn't as versed in shooting a rifle. I would think many hunters weighing in here don't have experience vs the extent of your experience or mine. You disagree?
Whether it's hundreds or thousands of big animals versus 40 big game animals, I think there comes a point where we can speak from experience. You disagree?
Millions of hunters and millions of animals have been proving cone of fire for years.
Can't recall who brought up cone
of fire on this forum... Do you disagree?
Thoughts and processes evolve. You jump in with a contrary statement.
A good number have it figured out if they've hunted for decades with respect to what field accuracy is versus an absolute.
Drop testing scopes prove there are consistent options, if you think I'm disagreeing, you don't pay attention. Some Scopes do better in tests than others. Do you disagree?
Millions of animals and millions of scopes other than drop tested Scopes in the last hundred years say there's something different besides an absolute for harvesting game
Do you disagree?
You disagree with my statement that it's about respecting living creatures and call me out for not respecting them, BS. That statement is deflection IMO. There have been millions of incapable scopes killing millions of animals for years with one shot... That's gotta chap the hide of absolute followers.
Regardless of when you call me out for saying that or not saying that, it's what we all strive for and you'd rather cause dissonance and pick apart words.
