[QUOTE="4th_point, post: 2977235, member: 13585"] Sort of. You are not going to accelerate wear-out failures by dropping the scope, per se. There's minimal recoil involved, depending on exact procedure, and that is probably a bigger factor for most people. Not drops. But there is some anecdotal observations between scopes that last and those that handle impacts, so I get what you are stating! The drops help check the rifle, mounts, and basic design of the scope though. And I definitely agree that there is value and merit. It just depends on the individual needs and expectations. And capability of the shooter to actually get meaningful information! You also risk creating an undetected issue inside the scope during the drop eval. Or, something like the bedding. You can certainly inspect impending failure of the bedding (e.g. visible cracks) but inspecting the scope internally is unrealistic. Something to consider. [/QUOTE]
