[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 361415, member: 11717"] Assuming your reticle is aligned with the center of your bore (many are not) canting your reticle would be the same as canting your bullet's fight path. Your bullet travels upward when it leaves the muzzle, to meat the zero point of your line of sight. If you cant the rilfe lets say to the left, the bullet leaves the bore, rising to the left and your POI will be left of your POA. Bubble levels aren't perfect instruments but IMO they are a whole lot better than nothing. Since I started using one it has really opened my eyes to how much cant I would sometimes put into the rifle when trying to eyeball a level when there isn't a level horizon as a reference. IMO, a bubble level is critical for LR hunting. Welcome to LRH and good shooting, -Mark [/QUOTE]
