[QUOTE="livetohunt, post: 1417453, member: 100535"] The reticle was leveled to the granite because the gun was clamped in place when I tightened the scope down. The flat on bottom of the scope was flat to the picatinny rail within a thou. The reticle is square to the body of the scope. Then I verified to a plum bob hanging a ways away. I’ve taken some funky shots hunting and always been able to have time to get the gun nice and level. With a pivoting bipod and adjusting the legs adequately, and then a good rear bag, even in an awkward position half kneeling half laying on a side hill you can get the gun level. You can trig the affected trajectory if your off say... 3 degrees and shooting 1000 yards (270 inches in my .300 win mag) I believe your vertical adjustment would be off 14 inches. So in essence dialing that at 3 degrees your true adjustment would be off 14” in Windage. Someone verify this I just woke up and I’m struggling with basic math. [/QUOTE]
