[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 848404, member: 4191"] If a scope is mounted directly above the bore gravitational wise, is mounted parallel to the bore left-right wise, the vertical scope reticle is then rotated to run parallel with a plum bob at 50 yards distance, and I then mark an anti-cant level to ensure the rifle is held in this same position when firing in the field - a position such that the vertical reticle is in alignment with the earth's gravitational vector/force - then I don't care which direction the bolt raceways are positioned. I submit that they could be rotated 1 or 90 degrees from level. That would only mean that the bolt handle would interfere with the scope, or the stock. The position of the bolt raceways would be immaterial, and have no affect on the left to right, or right to left, cant-caused drift of the bullet whatsoever. Any engineers or physicists on this Forum that see a flaw in this position, please correct this and explain the error in it, for my benefit. [/QUOTE]
