[QUOTE="britz, post: 289698, member: 7865"] It takes more math that I'm willing to figure out on a saturday night lol! yes it would be noticeable. Just look at something half a mile away through your rifle scope and watch how far the bottom post of the duplex moves on the target when you cant your scope a little. 800 -1200 yards is a long ways off and the smallest movement makes a big difference. doesn't take much to move 20-30 inches ;) after I wrote that I had to take a shot at it... I'm thinking that from 100 yard sight in to 1200 yard sight in you have about 400 inches of elevation adjustment. to get roughly close I'm thinking you have a circle that is 800 inches in diameter x pie divided by 360 degrees will yield roughly 7 inches off per degree of cant off. so it will add up in a hurry!
