[QUOTE="paphil, post: 614133, member: 17745"] I agree on the twisted scope theory! I have my guns scopes canted 2 degrees, to the left. That is done to compensate for spin drift. I am allowing enough cant for about 8" at 1000 yards. The scope leans left about 1/2 bubble and I use the level to shoot and not the reticle to allign my shot. I did this because I don't use a calculator to dope the wind, I use the numbers in the top ring on the Huskemaw turret. I got tired of missing in 3mph wind conditions and holding 1 moa for a left wind and 3 moa for a right wind. There is a vertical component for left and right and in my experience , it is most noticable in the first 4-5 moa and then seems to taper off. I hold about 1/3 moa(1 click) of vertical for each 2 moa up to 6moa and then nothing after that. Shooting east and west, at 1000 , I add a click for west and take off for east. It is only about 3" difference each way and my range is north/south so my gun falls in the middle. Most of this stuff doesn't matter at all for the average gun but when you get a good one that shoots 4" groups at 1000 yards it will all make sense! [/QUOTE]
