[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 256664, member: 1521"] I shoot a T2K with 7degs of cant(like David), and it is very comfortable this way. The article above refers to LINE OF SIGHT, and yes, you must shoot through a CONSISTENT line of sight. That is why you must use a level in the field. It should be part of your routine to verify level just prior to touching off the shot, so your level system must be viewed from shooting position(without loosing sight picture). For this, I use only 'ScopeLevel's. A scope could be mounted 10 feet from the bore(in any direction), and as long as your adjustments are plumb, and your gun is level as sighted, things will work just fine. You do not even need a reticle.. You can shoot with a simple dot like many others who do. I could pull one of my scopes, with the ScopeLevel still on it and undisturbed. Install an offset base, let's say 6" left, mount the scope, re-zero. That's it. Plumb was already set in the past, and so shots will still track plumb as I adust through the range. This, provided I mind the gun's sighted level prior to each shot. [/QUOTE]
