[QUOTE="bill123, post: 1045565, member: 69116"] J E CUSTOM I agree that by adding cant you do introduce a small amount of error into your shooting system. You are also introducing error if you have a less than steady hold. Canting the rifle (for some of us) makes for a steadier hold. If the amount of error that you remove by making your hold more steady is greater than the amount you introduce with the "misalignment" of the bore to reticle center, then you win. I measure the amount of cant by betting up my rifle on a bench with the scope level set level. I holding a small level from the center of the ocular and measure how far off the bore is. It's not exact, but its repeatable. [/QUOTE]
