Oops. Think the scope on my 336 let go.

If I adjusted it 2" down it went 8" right. T/C Contender didn't do much better but I was toast by then. 20 heavy-boolit BP 45-90's in my Sharps, 30 pretty stiff 45-70's in my Guide Gun followed by 10 pretty stout .35 rem loads. I'll run some control loads thru it tomorrow but it's a pretty cheap scope and it hasn't had an easy life.
Anybody have a shoulder I can borrow until I get mine back?
