That happened to me 25 years ago with my 270 and old redfield scope.  I remember it has if it were yesterday.  I feel for you.

Got a picture someplace of when I was 16, with a bear I just killed, and a nice "bite" under my eye from the scope.  Not sure how it happened, but I was shooting downhill at the time.  I had blood dripping down my face when the picture was shot, so it looks like the bear attacked me  :chuckle:

Got bit by a 338 once as well, still have a noticeable crack in my nose from that one...  :bash:  Moral of the story, I pay way more attention now to my scope placement.

I've done it with a .300WSM.   It hurts. 

Oh well, doesn't sound like you needed stitches, so that's good.

That sux man only got bit once by my buddies 416 thankfully he had a Swarovski on it so it didnt cut me but gave me a little idiot bump. My fiance was in spike camp alone while we were out chasing elk and a grizzly came in she shot to scare it off with my saddle gun "7mm lighthunter" and it bit her bad broke her nose and gave her a shiner. When we came running back to camp she was sitting there covered in blood i thought she got attacked.
Never to far, Just grab another minute!

I got bit the first time I ever fired a scoped rifle....course in my case the rifle was a 7mm magnum and I was only15 years old and maybe 125lbs soaking wet. :P My mother was pissed though when my buddy brought me home from shooting with a black eye and a cut over my eyebrow.
