The scope IS a great lifting handle!
Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and erudite.
While Tahr hunting in New Zealand mountains, while saving myself from a fall, dropped my rifle 5 metres/ 16 feet onto a scree/flowing stone slope. The steel tube shmidt and bender scope took most of the impact with small dents in the front tube and turret caps dented in to the point where i had to be careful it didn't change zero when taking them off. To my surprise when i shot the rifle to check zero it hadn't changed at all. Lesson learned buy the best quality you can afford.
Great to see Ryan on here. Good stuff Piet!
RUclips didn’t send me a notification about this video. 😡
I barely heard anything you guys said just drooling over the JAE stock..... Its been my dreamstock for like, ever... Will have to run trough your videos to see if you have made a review on in!
Excellent information, especially about mounting. Thanks!
Great video love the topic
Great video, lots of knowledge
love this content. need more!
Agreed. Not a habit, been when I have there's never been any issues.
I carry my rifle like I carry my Hanzo sword. Like its a precision instrument.
Great info pete
Awesome content..!!! 👍🏼
First lecture on the sniper course i did years ago was "don’t pick the rigle up by the scope" that lesson was ingrained into us. I appreciate the bulelt speaks for themselves and Piet has shown zero impact shift however...rifles that have a seperate scope rail are the ones i woukd be most concerned about. The screws that hold that rail on are only small with very fine threads...snatch 20Ibs up and I'd be concerned tha threads could fail. Just my thoughts and I'll continue to carry the rifle by conventional means.
i agree that it hurts watching you destroy a scope that i cant really afford, but better you than me!! i always get a kick out of the people who like to cry about such things.
Yes u can i always do. I also mark all of mine with a paint marker, incase a bolt moves.
I pick my hunting rifle up by the scope a lot. Brno ZKK600 no problems
The Wizard on Impact Shooting. This is a good day
I have carried my rifle this way for years with zero issue. If you have a high quality mounting system combined with a quality optic, properly mounted correctly, on a standard hunting rifle, I can't fathom there being an issue develop.
