Super sniper durability

I’ll draw out the way it all took place. On Saturday it was snowing and right around 32 degrees. It was me my son, and a cousin that’s my son’s age (9) .We was in Alabama hunting whitetail deer. We went out for the evening hunt around 3 pm. I didn’t want the young one’s to get too cold. Well anyways around 5 Pm they looked at me and said I’m freezing I can’t feel my feet. About that time I figured out I couldn’t feel mine ether so back to hiking to the truck. When we got to the truck I leaned my gun up against the front tire so I could gat all the wet cloths of the kid’s. So I got the top layer of cloths off them and got mine off and got all the call and rattling stuff I normally tote back in to the right place. I also started the truck for the warm up. I chatted with the kids (boys) about being girl scouts and being COLD and coming out of the woods way to early. I finally got all the stuff put away and hoped in and drive about 100 yards and thought to myself OH SH*% I forgot to get my gun off the tire. I was a little ticked at this time. I spun the truck around in the mud and snow and headed back to get it.SH85 I ran over my gun when it fell it hit the ground at a 45degree angle of my truck. I ran over the receiver and the entire scope. The 37inch tall tire marks were dead center of the gun and scope. I was crushed. I couldn’t stop telling my self how stupid I was. I wiped all the mud and snow off the gun and put it in it’s case this time. Sunday all I could do was think about how stupid I was for monster trucking my gun and wanted to shot it to see if everything was okay with it but I told my wife I would hang out with her all day Sunday. So that meant shooting was way out of the question but Monday I would be at the gun shop all day so I could then. Saturday night I have night mares of how bad thing was going to be at the gun shop and I didn’t sleep at all. Day light finally showed up Monday Morning I get up fix coffee and jump in the shower. Well The coffee filter flops over and runs all the water in the floor. This isn’t looking good. Is it a bad omen? I get the mess took care of and got to the shop about 30 minutes late. When I get there some guys wanted me to take them to the tactical shop up the street so off we go. The whole time we are gone I haven’t said a word about what I did. I even had a good friend call and I didn’t tell him. Sorry bro. finally got back to the shop around 2PM and I have 2 pro cleanings to get done and out before I can test fire my rifle. Well my polishing wheel broke I dropped to springs and a few other thing happen that made me think I was in for the worst. I got the bench setup and out privet range and off to put up a target. Well wouldn’t you know the gun slid off the table on the ground.. I’m sh*#ing golden ester eggs about right now.WHAT ELSE can go wrong got everything setup and settled in for some shooting. The first shoot (KABOOM) HIT DEAD PERFECT. The second shot I thought I missed the paper. I walked down and the hole was ablonged so 2 shots one hole. Not bad. I shoot 10 times with one raged hole. I did a box test and it tracked perfectly. I’m now grinning from ear to ear. This SS10x42 is indestructible. I am truly amazed at how well a super sniper will hold up. I knew it was tuff but come on this is crazy tuff. I would recommend this scope to anyone any time. if it can stay working perfect for me I know it will for anyone who has one or get’s one. I finally did fess up to all the guys in the gun shop. They gave me heck for the rest of the day. They even made me a sign that says BD parking. But they put it about a ¼ of a mile from the shop for some reason.

Thanks Daddy!

impressive

And what was this super sniper mounted on?

Sounds like a TIMEX

BD,

Now THAT is an endorsement I can believe in. Thanks there Bigdaddy.  You shoulda been video taping, it would have been a great commercial.

Bad thing that happened there BigDaddy! At least it had a good ending.

Wow.... Samsonite Gorilla tough! Awesome that you tested that scenario for all of us.

Just as a balance to this story, there are limits to the S.S.'s durability. I dropped one that was still in the box from the top shelf of my closet, about 6.5 feet. I have laminate floors, so they aren't too soft, but not like concrete.  As I said the scope was in the cardboard box and had the stock covers on. When I opened the box I found the objective housing had been deformed. Think round with flat side.  It wasn't anything a little gentle reforming wouldn't fix and the scope was certainly serviceable, just dented. It just goes to show that how something lands makes all the difference.

All in all I still think the S.S. is the best value out there.

Nice looking setup Bigdaddy!

SWEEEEEET Bro. Real sweet..................
