Aw, Disaster

So there I was after the hunt this past Saturday. I ain't saw a deer all morning long, so I headed back to the house at around eleven. I took off all of my equipment leaned my gun against the truck. Even though I didn't see any deer, all was going well. Then I went to reach for my rifle. I grabbed my rifle at the very tip of the barrel. When I pulled it to me it slipped from my hand. I grasped for it only catching air both times. As the gun continued to tip farther over I noticed the scope was going to be the first thing to hit the ground. I turned my head i couldn't stand to look at it any longer..."thud." "Disaster," I thought, as I hung my head in shame... I knew before I even picked the rifle up my scope had to be ruined or at least WAY out of sight, and would have to be sighted in again. I turned and saw my gun laying there on the ground. I couldn't bear to shoot it or even check the scope out of fear of what I might find. I hastily tossed the rifle in the truck and went inside. Later I came back out with my step dad and told him what I did. The zoom was bent and neither of us could turn it. We tried with channel locks and it just turned the whole scope inside the rings! I had a Simmons on there when that happened. About a month or so ago I almost bought a Leupold...I'm so glad I didn't. I would have been very unhappy if I would have ruined a 500-600 dollar scope rather than a 150 dollar scope!
Any way to make a longer story shorter, I went out that afternoon and bought a new "Center Point-Adventure 4-16 x 40" Yesterday after about 10 rounds out of my 300, and a hurt shoulder, it was sighted in. It seems to hold it's line well, even with the brutal beating that a 300 Winchester magnum can give. And for that I am happy. So I, personally...thus far...can say about "Center Point" it's a decent scope for the money. But guys seriously be careful with where you grab your rifle...(I am glad I got a new scope though).
