[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 40992, member: 3"] CAM The 6 degree figure comes from a post in this thread by *WyoWhisper* and a subsequent reply. Numbers were stated and that's why I used the 6 degree figure, no other reason. (Keep in mind that as always, any number selected is going to **** someone off so any number can be used as long as we're consistent.) You're correct, the number are good to know if you're a sniper or shooting in that type of competition. The level is a essentially a binary device, [B]on[/B] (level) or [B]off[/B] (non-level) and I intend to use it in that fashion. For LR shooting I'd like to check level. I have only one shot to get it correct and every little thing helps. Cant is particulary unfriendly to shooting vertical targets, we shoot tall and skinny targets, if they were short and wide cant wouldn't be so much of a consideration. For example, we shoot a mover (nominally 3 mph) that's 12 inches wide and 48 inches tall at a distance of 600 yards, pre shoot prep dictates removing cant as much as possible. On using a 180 degree "cant"... we've shot in this position too an it's fairly humbling without considerable forethought. Just tipping the rifle over at 100 yards you'll be about (don't hold me to this as I've not run the numbers) 6 or 7 MOA low (below POA). I don't care to argue this point, it's just for fun.
