[QUOTE="bill123, post: 1046402, member: 69116"] Bruce, I know the offset is counterclockwise because I canted the stock that way to fit my shoulder and I measured the 1/4" from the center of the ocular to the center of the chamber. I know that's not a perfect measurement but with calipers, I think that I am close. As for receiver/barrel misalignment, barrel curvature, and ring offset, does anyone measure that? Likewise, spin drift, aligning scope level, really any calculation are not factors exclusive to canting a stock. Everyone has to deal with them. Like you, I try to eliminate every variable that I can. W/o going into an exhaustive list, I account (as best I can) for every variable that Bryan Litz has discussed in his books. The only source of error that I'm willing to accept is offset error caused by my intentionally canting the stock in a know direction and distance. All I can say is try canting the stock and see if it gives you a more natural shooting position. Then you can decide if the gain is worth the know offset. [/QUOTE]
