Yes in 2018 on an elk/mule deer hunt in Idaho I slipped on some ice and slid quite a bit. Noticed my vx6 was dinged up a bit but didn't think it got knocked around too bad the next morning I thought about grabbing my back up rifle ( I always bring one on out of state hunts) but it was a considerably smaller caliber and we had elk patterned pretty well I had planned on taking a couple shots to check the zero that day at lunch but a big mule deer came out and gave me an opportunity I couldn't pass. Missed so badly the deer stood there allowing for 2 more shots, I thought it was my position on the first shot. It took all I had to not wrap that rifle around a tree. But I was more mad at myself not the rifle/scope. Lessons were learned that year.
