[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1119517, member: 12193"] Having the scope nice and plumb when you shoot is by far the most important thing. Line up your reticle with a plumb line, zero your scope level, and tighten her down. Do a tall target test to verify your elevation adjustment is tracking as it should. Here is the amount of windage error you can expect at 1000 yards if something isn't perfectly aligned: Scope is plumb, gun is canted 5 degrees: 0.7" Scope is plumb, gun is canted 10 degrees: 1.4" Scope is aligned with gun, both are canted 5 degrees: 21.9" Scope is aligned with gun, both are canted 10 degrees: 44.1" [/QUOTE]
