I didn't miss that point, its just I find the drop tests entirely believable but the loss of zero from a mere road trip not so much.
In theory doing a long term road trip with my rifles/scopes should be fairly easy to conduct. It'd also be less easy to write off from skeptics.
It's easy for folks (like the ones on Snipershide) to come up with half a dozen reasons for these drop tests to be invalid.
But the rifle sitting in the back of your car/truck is a bit harder to dismiss.
Anyway, I was on the fence about whether these drop tests were actually useful or somewhat hyperbolic.
But the loss of zero just from a road trip is pretty much 100% relevant to every one who shoots.
