[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 1258, member: 34"] [b]Re: Darryl, David, Boyd, you can\'t cant[/b] 308 You wouldn't have troube sighting in at 100 yards if the cant was off just a small amount. It would however cause a windage problem adjustment at longrange IF the cant was off a lot. When I say a lot, I mean it would be noticable or turned in a loose ring. If the cant is just a small amount off you will be able to make your LR adjustment with windage and elevation. Probably 99% of the shooters or LR hunter would NEVER know or detect a problem if the cant was off a thousandth or two one way or the other. I use a small bubble level on the flat part of the action after the rifle is set up on a flat, level table. I then put a small bubble level on the top elevation turret cap. As I tighhten everything down, I watch all bubbles for correctness. Again, if it's off a couple thousands it won't make a difference ONCE you are sighted in. If your shooting at 1000 yards and go back to 100 yards then go back up to 1000 yards with the SAME clicks as you had, you will be on target and there will not be a problem with the windage adjustment. If you checked every gun at a 1000 yard match, you may find that the cant will be off just a bit on most of them. Very few are EXACT. By ATTACHING a bubble level on the scope and setting up your rifle the same way in the bags is a favorite way to align your rifle during a match. You really won't have a problem if the cant is off by a SMALL amount. A small amount you or anyone else would probably never catch anyway.
