[QUOTE="barrelnut50, post: 1700599, member: 86350"] I agree that cant error is worse, and that your scenario was exaggerated. I've tried to eye-ball reticle alignment many times. I can't see the bore through the receiver because I'm looking at the reticle. I'm looking at the rear end of the receiver and guessing that the bore is centered in that perspective at the front end. I can't keep my head erect because the stock is in the way of my shoulder, so my frame of reference is tilted. Whenever I used this method I honestly couldn't say what my reticle alignment error was. Your eyes must be better than mine. Now I use a tool to help me accurately align the scope reticle to the rifle bore. I use the same tool to align the anti-cant indicator to the scope turret/reticle and plumb targets at the range. Scope and anti-cant indicator alignment is near-perfect every time.
