[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1463320, member: 2736"] Not to start an argument but that is exactly what the Action rails do. If you are directly Perpendicular to the rails, and vertical over the bore it doesn't matter if the stock is not perfectly centered to the bore. In fact it is almost impossible to get the stock perfectly vertical even though it is bedded. If the action and bore are on the same center line as the scope base mounting screws, and you level the scope to this. the elevation will/should not effect the windage as it is increased. I have seen rifles scopes/sites leveled using the stock and it doesn't work if you shoot multiple distances from 200 yards to 1000 yards or farther.The stock doesn't effect the change in windage as you elevate the vertical turret, but any misalignment of the scope vertical center line to the bore vertical does. If you hunt with one zero, none of this realy matters that much. If the scope is vertically level with the bore the line of site and the line of bore converge at the POI and forms a triangle that is also plum/vertical. Just saying J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
