[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 391451, member: 4191"] I wanted to add that my perspective is certainly based on my "typical" hunting scenarios, which is backpack hunting involving hikes of 2 to 10 miles up riverbeds, climbing mountainsides, fighting some alders & devils club & brush. I try to protect my scopes from as many lumps and bumps as possible, but they still happen, and when they do I want the mounting system that increases the likelihood that the scope has not been jarred out of zero. It still happens every now and then. Enough so that I've learned that [B][I]anytime[/I][/B] the scope has incurred a significant impact, it is always best to recheck zero. It doesn't feel one bit good to put in all that preparation time for the hunt to develop a confident, accurate load, only to incur a miss after hiking in 8 miles and scaling a mountain - because the riflescope's zero has been impacted on the trip/scramble in to position for the shot on the game animal. So there's a lot more packing involved in my typical hunts than shooting. The more packing, the more likely to suffer a change in zero. [/QUOTE]
