My brand new, barely out of the box Benjamin air rifle (Eurasian doves are just TOO tempting in my neighborhood) fell on our tiled kitchen floor with the scope I had just finished mounting on it last night. I was walking through the dining room with it when my wife called out for assistance getting something hot out of the oven. I should have spent 5 seconds putting the gun in a better spot, but the wife's voice indicated urgency so I just leaned the gun against the counter. Of course my 5 year-old boy has to come running by in the 10 seconds it took for me to help my wife, and he knocked it over. So much for the first ding and scratch!
