So I was putting a different scope on the concept lite and had everything pretty well set and tight and I decided to do this in the basement sitting on the couch , nice and warm as the garage is cold, so I was checking eye relief sighting on the washing machine controls and thought well if I put my pellet catch on top we can see if its close. Yuppp its a control panel close. Turns out if your dog barks at ups delivering your 45 min scba tank and you jump you can kill your washer........ No televisions were harmed in this scope mounting
 
Ouch, that's got to hurt! Sorry for your loss that is going to cost you although you may be able to pick the control panel up for cheap off of the net That reminds me of one night when I was up late and picked up my Crosman 1377 that I had just werqed on a couple days before. Out of nowhere came the thought that it might be loaded so I immediately pointed it at the basement door and pulled the trigger. Well, it was loaded and pumped up and the pellet went all the way through the hollow door. Not a big deal to me cuz it needed replaced anyway but still a reminder not to point a gun at anything I would not want to shoot.

The washer will become a new backyard pellet trap as its front load. I generally hated that washer on a weekly basis so a new shiny one with my home depot store credit thats been laying in console of truck from last material over runs on three jobs will take care of it. The door you mentioned is a memory for me , a few years ago my daughter was shooting her bow down the hallway and bounced an arrow off the floor over archery block through door and into the closet mirrored sliders. Thank god Im a contractor and don't have to hire someone lol

What a dummy! I can say that because I'm dumber. As a much younger man, I was checking the functioning of a shotgun in the bedroom, and, sorry to say, I blew a hole through the mattress and box springs. I was a college student at the time, at home during the summer break. So, had a little talk with my folks, and that was a hard one to explain. I'll confess one good outcome, it made me very cautious of the way I handle firearms and air rifles. And to this day, at age 70, if there is ammo, or pellets, in the same room with the rifle, I'm darn sure the 2 remain separate. I don't want the grand kids to be as stupid as their grandpa!
