So I am moving while also packing for my hunt and was setting my gun beater up, being careless, I set my rifle down on an unstable surface and it fell. Here are some photos. Other than going and re-zeroing the scope, is there anything else I should do?

Anything I should worry about long term? I know that now the finish is slightly chipped to keep a coat of oil on the exterior to prevent rust.

Nothing detrimental is going to happen to your rifle because of that chip. I would make an attempt to prevent rust but it’s going to be strictly cosmetic in my opinion
 
I've skittered rifles, scopes, and myself across unforgiving surfaces...ah chit moments for sure but it happens.
 
As a young man, I would get really upset with myself about things like this. As I've gotten older, I realized that these things happen and I don't let them worry me. As you carry that rifle, you will get many more marks. I think they add character.
