I was out hiking along a stream about 20 miles south of town, a few miles into the hills today. At one point the trail crosses the creek on an old bridge. I set foot on the bridge, take another step and the next thing I know I'm airborne Classic pratfall. I'd had my Tikka 91/30 over my shoulder and it launches into the air along with several other items including my glasses. The Tikka did its own pratfall, whipping around in a 360, flying over the side of the bridge and falling hard onto the rocks about ten feet below!
I gotta say that's a tough rifle. It has a scratch on the stock from the impact but once I dried it off there was no harm done. The military stock protected the barrel itself from any damage.
