[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 255010, member: 11717"] After rereading my post, I probably should have sai it this way... The vertcile (windage) reticle needs to be plumbed with the reciever (bore). If the scope is canted in anyway, the bullet will drift left or right, *if elevation adjustments are made*, depending on how it's canted when fired closer or farther than zero distance. When you make windage adjustments to fine tune the zero, it should be aligning the reticle with the center of the bore, with the reticle being verticle to the bore, and this is assuming the receiver mounts (holes) are correctly centered to align center of scope with center of bore. If your reticle is canted, let's say to the left in relation to the bore, then when an elevation adjustment correcting for drop is made, your scope POA moves left, and conversly the line of your bore moves right as you put the cross hairs on target. So... the scope reticle must be "plumbed" to the bore of the scope. [/QUOTE]
