[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 10228, member: 3"] First place I can see a problem coming into play is the leveling of the rifle action. If the action isn't truly level you've made everything plumb to a canted action. What kind of rifle are we talking about? Could also be that you naturally cant the rifle and now with everything level it looks and feels awkward. One way to check (I think this will work) could be by firing some rounds at a large target at 100 yards. First shoot a group at your 100 yard zero setting. Then adjust the elevation up about 20 MOA and shoot again (same Point Of Aim), then run the elevation down to about 20 MOA below (if possible) your 100 yard zero and shoot again. The center of these groups should be plumb, check BEFORE taking the BIG target off the backer. If they're not plumb with each other there's something canted. [/QUOTE]
