[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 709047, member: 2736"] The main reason to level the action,scope and reticle is to prevent windage changes during elevation changes. By leveling the scope reticle to the reciever, the fact that the barrel is pointed upward to the line of site. no mater how far the shot the bullet will pass through the center line of the bore and strike above or below the the aim point without having to compensate with the windage adjustment. I have seen many match shooters cant there rifles and be very competitive but this was on fixed distances and they all use windage adjustments to compensate. Windage is hard enough to correct for without having to use both windage and elevation for correction of canting. By keeping everything level, all adjustments can be made much easier for elevation and windage corrections. Leveling the reticle with the rifle action is easy and well worth the effort when hunting at different distances. Just My opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
