[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 28650, member: 3"] Let me think on this for a little while...something seems out-of-place. Couple questions for clarification. 1. Are you speaking of rifle cant or scope mounting cant? IAW Does the scope track true on elevation or is it inducing windage error because of scope mounting cant? From my testing in the field I believe that the maximum linear cant error at 100 yards (with a 100 yard zero) will be in the area of 3.5 (call it ~ MOA as were talking of 100 yards) inches of vertical displacement and about an equal amout of horizonal displacement. This would be with a 90 degree cant on the rifle. As I see it there can be no scope mounting cant error at the "base zero" range (100 yards for my rifles). I'll get back to this thread in a little bit. /r [/QUOTE]
