Is it all Leopolds

[bmart2622]

dropping your rifle on a hunt it should go with out question to re check zero.and the fact that basic gun saftey easily prevents it. My children are apperantly less clumsy then most on this form.

the guys that preach about drop tested scopes i would bet money on it the 90 percent of there set ups wouldn't pass the drop test

Heres what you said, your words!! So is it basic gun safety or grandma exercises that prevent falls?!?!?

Well crap i guess i kind of implied it prevent cracking your scope by how you carry it. I think the grandma exercise would help you though at least it sounds that way

 

[bmart2622]

Oh ok, we'll just change the narrative then since you cant back up your initial claim

 

[Archer86]

Basic gun saftey will prevent you from hurting your rifle in the event you are extremely clumsy and fall everywhere you go hope that's a better explanation for you

 

[bmart2622]

No, still ridiculous. Are you really saying you've never fallen while hunting?!?!? And the only people who do are people who are out of shape and unsafe with rifles?!?! Cmon man!!! Take the L, get some help removing your foot from your mouth and move on!!!

With respect, regardless of scope, if that happens hunters have a responsibility to check zero if there's any question there may have been reason to expect loss of point of aim.

Weren’t you earlier in this thread saying that it didn’t matter if a scope lost zero very much-

What I shared has everything to do with a good shooter and a scope brand that has killed hundreds of millions of animals that may wander a bit one way or the other on paper but may not be relevant on a vital-sized target and a cone of fire in the field

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.

If that's beyond what folks can do, it becomes selfish and not respecting living creatures that deserve the best when we engage them.

But you are unable to draw the same correlation to say- use the scope least likely to inadvertently lose zero?

The cognitive disconnect…

Anybody disagree with that? That's a yes or no answer, do animals deserve the best we can give them when there's any doubt?

No. That’s the entire point of choosing to use aiming devices that work better at steering lethal projectiles.

And if a rifle suffers an impact does that create doubt?

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.

I said nothing in there it prevents you from slipping your a fool

..I myself wouldn't own Japanese/Asian optic anything, but I do have 2 NF scopes

Really, where do you think your NF are made

 

[bmart2622]

Basic saftey yes. I am curious why it has become so common for guys to fall out hunting seams odd to me

Ok, how about this one??!!

 

[bmart2622]

Basic gun safety prevents you from losing your footing on steep, uneven, icy, wet terrain and falling with your rifle?

The previously quoted post was your reply to this one!!! Re read it you fool!!!

Things happen.

Good video, thanks for posting. As I stated earlier in this thread, my dad has ALWAYS used leupold scopes. His 6.5-284 wasn’t shooting as well as he thought it should and it was topped with a vx5. About 7 months ago he put a different brand on there, and just like your video showed, his groups decreased by half….same rings, same load, etc. The only difference was the scope.

A lifelong Leupold user is now replacing all of them.

I sent him the video.

Just start the grandma exercises and you will do better at walking...
