The TLDR on Rokslide "Drop Test Approved" Scopes is:

SWFA SS (6x, 10x, 3-9, 3-15)
Nightforce (any model)
Trijicon Huron, Credo, Tenmile
Maven RS1.2 (current favorite for most)

As others mentioned, there are other factors that could contribute to zero loss than just the scope. I've been following the same guy's scope mounting method among other things (action screws degreased and torqued to min. 50 in-lbs on a Tikka). The thread is a little outdated, most guys over there are using paint pen instead of Loctite 242 now due to some curing issues. But the process and torque values are still pretty accurate. Under 17 in-lbs on the scope rings is asking for slippage.

None of this guarantees your rifle won't lose zero from a relatively minor impact. Each rifle system needs to be tested, but it's good data for reference.

I'd still check zero after a fall from a bike.

Yeah i’m thinking i’ll upgrade, was seriously considering the maven and wish i went with it in hindsight, my action screws are right around that mark, and I torqued all my ring screws to the spec that hawken provided. I appreciate you linking that rs thread, i’ll probably just triple check and Redo what i have since it’s going to the range again.

If you want to check out an RS1.2 before buying shoot me a PM. Not sure where you’re at but I’m in Tacoma, headed over to eburg/yakima areas for at least one day this weekend.

Also have a SWFA 3-9 not currently mounted.

I’m also in tacoma so i will 100% keep that in mind, hopefully i can get mine figured out but if not i will reach out, Thank you.
