About 6 months ago I was shooting two rifles, a 25.06 and a 7-08. Some of you can probably guess where this is going. I was shooting TTSX in both. Both had Leupold's on them and both were in black synthetic stocks. I had rounds for both out on my impromptu shooting table. Then came one of the scarier moments of 40 years, I was shooting the 25.06 and sent a 7mm bullet down the tube. The rifle was significantly damaged and I suffered lacerations to my face. My scope however was completely undamaged, it's a twenty-year-old Leupold Vari X II 3-9*50.
However, a couple of weeks ago I borrowed a 30.06 for a moose hunt. It's a wood-stocked T3. I was shooting Nosler 180 grain factory loads. I could not get the rifle to group. I used a torque wrench on all of the action screws, scope mounts, and rings. Do you guys think I possibly damaged the internals to the scope? Is it something Leupold can look at for me?
Thanks, oh and I learned a lot of lessons that day.
