[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1223271, member: 50867"] The article says "Because the scope mounts are already fitted to the rifle, it's not necessary to find the vertical of the rifle itself, only to align the bore center and cross hair center to the plumb line" If the rifle is canted and you align the center of the bore with a plumb line (not an incredibly accurate idea in its own right) and then align the verticle cross hair with the plumb line you will, when bringing the rifles stock back to its own verticle, have a canted scope image. I do see some promise in the general theory, given that all elements are on the same plane, but it is (IMO) no more accurate a process (and somewhat more bothersome) than the method I have used throughout the years.
