SCOPE MOUNTS FOR STEYR MANNLICHER CRACKED

One strategy that I adopted was to use detachable rifle-scope mounts so that only the rifle itself would need to suffer the sometimes not so gentle ministrations of the baggage handlers, whilst I had the rifle-scope, or better still rifle-scopes, in my hand carry. If you are embarking on an expensive hunting trip, perhaps a вЂњonce in a lifetimeвЂќ trip that it has taken you time to save up for, then you will want to do as much as you can to ensure your rifle and rifle-scope arrive at your hunting destination intact and still zeroed.

IвЂ™ve had one rifle suffer a cracked stock in shipping, the crack being around the area where the pistol grip meets the action, and IвЂ™ve had a solid rifle case suffer a couple of broken corners though in that instance the rifle itself emerged unscathed. However, as it disappears on the baggage carousel at check-in we lose control over how carefully it will be handled. We can pack our rifle complete with its rifle-scope in a solid hard case and make sure itвЂ™s padded well.

One of the times a rifle can be at risk of damage is when it is being transported, particularly if it is being transported on a commercial flight. Mine was, and the hunting trip was still a great experience, but I would have preferred to be able to use my rifle-scope rather than the iron sights. However, as I learned to my cost on one hunting trip, they are not indestructible, and if one is damaged or fails you can be reduced to using your open sights, if your rifle is fitted with them. Rifle-scopes are made to be rugged and to survive not only the recoil of a heavy caliber rifle or pistol, but also to survive the knocks and sometimes drops that can occur.

The telescopic sight we put on a rifle and depend on so we can place our shot with the precision that open sights cannot provide is a potentially delicate thing.
