[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 256203, member: 1521"] ALL that matters in a field adjusted scope, is ADJUSTMENT plumb. Doesn't matter how the reticle was set during manufacturing, as many use a simple dot reticle. Doesn't matter if the bore line is different, or the gun is canted, as many competitors setup and shoot just this way. Now you need a field reference. A ScopeLevel. So that you're shooting the same with each shot. I must be very lucky because 4 different Mk4s I've shot the box with(including one from Premier) have tested perfect in tracking and MOA. After this testing, with the rings tight, I mount a ScopeLevel to match a temporary gun level. From this point(doing it the same with all guns) I can move any scope from one gun to another and set it plumb on the bench everytime. Don't even need to look through it. [/QUOTE]
