[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 533467, member: 18849"] Richard that sounds like a lot easier way than I have been doing....I used to check tracking (vertical only) by placing two pieces of masking tape on the corner of the neighbors pole barn about 2 feet apart up and down...We didn't have a gun vise and lead sleds were not invented yet....So I rubber snubbered the rifle down to a "VEE" notched cardboard box on a table and leveled the rifle......I shimmed up the box until the crosshair lined up with the bottom tape...The barn was 150 yards away (paced not measured)...1/4" clicks should cover about 3/8" at that distance.....so if we made 60-70 or so clicks up and the cross hair stayed on the corner of the building all the way up we figured the scope was not canted....That was back in the day looking for scope cant but I believe that is the same method you are talking about now to check for tracking and click value....I probably still would be doing it the old way but there is no buildings in sight of my new place:)... Thanks for the advice I have two more rigs almost ready for "dope tuning", and I am going to use your method... Thanks again, Randy [/QUOTE]
