[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1422234, member: 2736"] There is a good way to find out if you Have any canting even if you have a level. First place a target at your zero range that has a aimpoint low on the target. Shoot a 2 or 3 shot group and then crank up your scope to the next distance at least in 100 yards or more increments and shoot another 2 or 3 shot group at the same aiming point. Raise the scope zero again and repeat the process until you get to at least 600 yards. If the rifle is canted or the level is not perfect, the vertical string/line for all shots will be left or right of vertical from the original group center. (The reason for 2 or 3 shots is to establish a group center) Don't worry about the first group being perfectly centered because what you are looking for is left or right of the vertical center of this group as you extend the distance. Be sure to aim at the same spot on the target every time. I place a level in the true center of the first group and using the level I draw a vertical line on the target before i remove it to be sure it is a true vertical line of actual shots.
