I've never dropped a scoped rifle hard before. Just wondering if and what might be procedures to check through to test or check for damage not obvious?
Nikon Buckmaster scoped Encore with stainless .308 barrel. I was switching rifle bags when I set it against something I shouldn't have and before I knew it, it crashed to the concrete floor.
There are scratches on the barrel at the muzzle, not into the crown area. I don't readily see marks on the scope, but the configuration of the gun had to have it hitting, maybe first. Polymer stock and forearm show nothing much.
Thanks in advance for the advice. The gun is in the bag, ready to go to the range.
