[QUOTE="paphil, post: 552856, member: 17745"] Bart, the 6.5-284 was grouping about 1 Moa right at 1000 yards. To get the scope aligned , I drew a vertical line on the tin side of the barn outside my shop and also a 3 degree line that intersects with the vertical. I drew 3 degrees before I had a dead calm day and thought I had 13 inches of drift. Anyway I put the gun in a canted position by tilting the crosshair left between the vertical and the canted line.Then I attached the scope level in the level position. The proof of the proper angle is the 100 yard ladder or inverted T with the goal being to shoot 1 inch left of the vertical line with 1000 yards of elevation cranked on the scope. Depending on the allignment of the crosshair and the erector mechanism the tilt can range from 6 degrees left to a couple right. Some scopes are accidentally just right and don't need any tilt. It is just something to think about and like I said earlier, it works for me. For shooting 1000 yd compitition, it doesen't matter, you use sighter shots, but for hunting and wanting the first shot to be right on , it helps ! [/QUOTE]
