[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2271388, member: 116181"] To build on this read a little bit and show how easy it is for your reticle to be canted, 2.5° of error can be caused by a 34mm scope tube being misaligned by 0.74mm. For a 1" tube it's half a millimeter. Most bubble levels are only accurate to ~3-5° even if you set them up correctly with a level or plumb line. Common rule of thumb for cant induced error is 1° is 5" off at 1000 yards, which works out to 3 inches of error at 600 yards [I]per degree[/I]. Your scope could be off by as little as a millimeter, and be either negating or compounding the variables in this ^^^ post. What are you using for ballistic solutions? [/QUOTE]
