I had just gotten back from the range with my Stevens 200 .223 with Bushnell 3-9x40 scope, and was cleaning the rifle when it fell of the table, about 3 and 1/2 feet and hit the floor. Thankfully it rolled off the table and landed on its left side, not on the muzzle, bolt handle or scope. I picked it up and finished cleaning it, the scope wasn't cracked and I made sure nothing was rattling around or loose, nothing, not even the crappy plastic trigger guard was cracked or bent. I only have one problem, I finally got this rifle tuned in and sub-moa at 75 yards, and shot the best group of my life with it today, right before the incident. Will I need to sight it in again (which took about 150 rounds and 2 range trips all told )? I keep telling myself no, because I'd imagine a hunting rifle scope is built to handle drops and shocks, especially since the plastic stock took the hit, and not the scope itself.
