[QUOTE="jmitchell135, post: 1014791, member: 76521"] [url=http://www.accurateshooter.com/optics/off-set-scope-mounting-rai/]Off-Set Scope Mounting Rail within AccurateShooter.com[/url] This article is a good example of an offset scope to rifle. With a known distance and a scope level, the rifle in the article will be able to be on target even though the scope is so far offset. With an unknown distance, and as the last paragraph of the article states, if the rig gets unlevel, the offset will cause a huge problem. Random ranges become much less random when you know your equipment and have all of the modern advancements available to us. Those which have allowed us to make the long range shots we make, but there is no doubt that they are more difficult if your scope is offset or unlevel or there is an unknown variable. This all goes back to the importance of the scope level and the importance of knowing your gear for the long range shots. ETA: If you don't want to read the article here is a picture.
