[QUOTE="DocB, post: 944656, member: 55312"] A 5 degree cant of the reticle from horizontal will result in a .36 inch shift from POA at 100 yds. That's hard to distinguish. At 400 yds a 5 degree cant of the reticle would yield 1.44 inch shift from POA. The OP has a 4 inch shift. That would mean a cant of somewhere between 8-10 degrees, just off the top of my head, and that would be a considerable amount of cant. So going back to what barnseuser, cblackwell and roy had to say, checking your scope mounting and reticle orientation to horizontal and the bore axis might be a good place to start. Good luck pardner. DocB [/QUOTE]
