I assume you are wanting Form to answe this, but I’ll give my thoughts. First, any impact testing is good, but not all impact testing is the same. The impact to the bell on the table are not the same level of impact or location of impact as a 3’ drop on the turret when it’s attached to an 8-10# gun. The technician is holding the scope near the turrets and is hitting the front bell. The moving parts aren’t in the front bell, so doing your testing this way minimizes impact to those moving parts. Personally, Form’s drop testing protocol seems way more likely to replicate a bad day in the mountains. But the POI shifts I’ve seen have all been from lesser impacts like having a rifle riding in a truck for miles of washboard roads. I don’t think March’s impact testing will cover that either. Bottom line is that it was designed by a lab guy, not a shooter or hunter, so the results may not reflect our types of usage.
