Today was my first day with my new 22lr, a Tikka t1x in a krg bravo chassis, and an Athlon area BTR gen2. Everything was good, rifle shot great, but like all good things, it had to come to an end. When I was cleaning up, my lanyard got caught on the stock, pulling the rear, further onto the table, and the barrel to swing off the table. Rifle ended up falling off the table, based on the damage, looks like the right front corner of the chassis took the initial impact, followed by the scope, then the thread protector on the barrel. This was a fall of about 3ft into concrete. I'm usually pretty good with my stuff and feel horrible about what happened.
The objective bell got a little bit flattened where it took the hit, but doesn't look too bad. Has anyone encountered a similar mishap and was there any serious damage? Is there anything I should do with the scope and gun to make sure there isn't any permanent damage.
