[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 954468, member: 20522"] Ok I was going to put of messing around with this until tomorrow but I couldnt wait, My girlfriend is wondering why the hell im breaking out my rifles at midnight but this is important!!! I got my 22wmr bolt gun out and mounted the scope level to if after leveling it to the top turret, Ive used bar levels mounting the scope before but never had one on the scope. According to the scope level when it is truly level the crosshairs look slightly canted, To make the crosshairs appear level the bubble level is favoring the left center line like |___|O |___| So the actual cant on the rifle is minimal. but since it has a much more traditional stock my head position is more vertical, And when I do cant my head to approximate the AR's cheekweld the scope looks really crooked just like the AR. lightbulb And when I think about when I did have a scope on my AR previously I had the traditional A-2 stock on it which also puts your head in a more vertical position compared to round carbine stock that makes me cant my head alot more to align my eye with the scope. And since I didnt have a level, let alone a rifle that could shoot accurately at range because a 16" m4 profile barrel and not free floated is not a precision rifle by any means. When I did shoot out at range I had really been playing at precision, I was getting hits but I couldnt do it at different ranges first shot. And with a 2-2.5 MOA gun whats wind? whats cant? whats just the accuracy of the gun? After lots of match ammo and Mods I gave up trying to figure out how to use that Upper for long range, Because I wasnt getting any consistency. And every time ive shot someone elses precision gun its had the more traditional stock and All the NM AR-15's and AR-10's ive used used the A2 stock. And ive always used there guns for crosshair shots to shoot groups at 100-300yds Well Im really relieved that its only my eye thats messed up and not my new scope :D I dont use it much anyway, I do all my looking through the left. THANK YOU BULLET BUMPER!!!! my first son will be named after you (but tell people hes named after Steve Mcqeen) and and if its a girl I shall call her BB:) [/QUOTE]
