[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 954409, member: 20522"] It is an eye dominance issue more than anything the brass deflection just complicates the issue more. when ive got the gun set up level according to my scope level and sit behind the gun left handed the crosshairs appear level. When I set up behind it right handed, and the level says im good I see the crosshairs as canted, and its not just slight, the cant seems to be pretty bad. at least half the thickness of the .5mil heavy stadia, now the scope level says its level but the crosshairs dont look level. Ive set it up to where my scope level says its good and the crosshairs look good left handed, If i dont move the gun and set up right handed the crosshairs appear canted right to left (right is higher than the left) even though my scope level says its level. I was just wondering if that "cant" was going to be an issue at range, Ive only been able to shoot this upper and this scope to 300yds and say i do have a 5 degree cant, at 300yds i would be .3 in the direction of the cant, so just under 1moa. since my gun shoots about 1moa, and my home range has virtually no wind since its dug down and surrounded on all sides by a thick forest the "heavy wind" is just enough to feel on your face. so 3-4mph and coincidentally that will also push my round .3 mil at 300 yds So with the 1moa gun and the maybe 1moa cant and the maybe 1moa wind its pretty hard for me to tell if im getting cant error because the reticle doesnt appear level. So i dont know if this problem is above my level, or if anyone can dumb it down to my level, or if my level isnt on the level, or if im in some horrible 8th level of hell reserved for shooters who use a level, either way you level it im going level crazy..................level [/QUOTE]
