So my gun with a VX-6HD scope mounted on it slid down about 20 steps of a metal stairway of a tower blind and the wind knob unscrewed several threads. I guess the zero lock button caught on each step and unscrewed the whole knob slightly from the scope body! Screwed it back on and went to the range and it was about 6 inches to the right and 2 inches high at 200 yards.. Re zeroed and it seems ok but havnt tested it extensively

should I send it in regardless? Did something break for that wind knob to unscrew?
