last week a friend knocked my .19 badger off of the 4-wheeler, scuffing up the muzzle and scope bell a little....no real damage. anyway, today i decided to drag out the lead-sled and make sure all was well...decided to include my rem. xr-100 in .204 in the outing too. the unmarked pic is the .19 badger. the paper plates are 7in in diameter at 100 yds.

It sure looks like the .19 Badger didn't suffer any ill effects from getting bounced off that 4-wheeler. The .204 Ruger seemed to test out pretty good too. Time to go shoot some squirrels, gophers, prairie dogs, or ground hogs!!!

Good to go. You just never know, though. I went 40 years without a significant shift in POI (that I knew of, anyway). Three years ago I let a light deer rifle slide off off the tree it was leaning against and POI shifted 3 inches. Two years ago two scopes had POI shift a couple of inches after a 1200 mile truck ride (packed in cheap hard side, foam lined cases). All 3 were Leupolds. I'm a lot more careful in verifying zero than I used to be.
