[QUOTE="PartsJr., post: 2389444, member: 87242"] I never lost an animal due to a bumped scope but then again I am very careful with my equipment. I realize hunting terrain varies and sometimes stuff happens. I’d definitely verify POI if I bumped my scope. I did breath a little too much (buck fever) on the eyepiece causing it to seriously fog up. I still got the buck as he was only 25 yards away. I also had a scope lens chip internally. The glass was rattling around inside. I borrowed a rifle for the afternoon hunt (MN W.T.) and the following day mounted an extra scope my grandpa had laying around a did a quick sight in. If I were going on a long backcountry trip or a once in a lifetime trip I’d definitely have an already zeroed backup scope that could be mounted easily quickly and accurately. [/QUOTE]
