Sure it counts Joe. I had a friend of mine from Baton Rouge come out of the woods one day.....unload his BAR 7MM Mag. with the VERY expensive Redfield scope, lean said rig against the front right side of his 4X4. Later he got ready to drive off and you guessed it.......forgot the rifle there and it fell and he backed over it. We looked at it and it looked OK. The ground was soft and there was a perfect imprint of that rifle and scope in the ground. I advised him to take the rifle to a smitty even though it "looked ok", I figured the barrel may be bent. Rifle was not OK. Barrel was not bent, action was. Totaled. Scope was OK though.
