[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 256751, member: 11717"] Well it sure didn't take long to kick up a little dust :D JWP, thanks for the pic. As they say, a pic is worth a thousand words. That explains a lot of things as it appears that the rifle is canted in one direction and the scope mounts are canted in the opposite direction to place the scope in plumb with the bore. A very interesting set up he has there. Mike, I think I may have misunderstood you, but if you cant your rifle (even to the same degree) with scope canted as well, as in not plumb to bore, you can only be *accurate* at one distance. Sight line and bore line must be plumbed and in the same verticle plain to keep the bullet from drifting at different ranges. Cheers :) [/QUOTE]
