[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1465205, member: 78762"] I get a consistent hold on the rifle, set up a plum line on a tall target. I then get the crosshairs plum with the line using my consistent hold, then dial on the target, turning the scope until it tracks strait up. I know some like getting the rifle and scope, “level” with each other, but I don’t hold most of my rifles “level” while shooting so it doesn’t help me at all. It just causes me to fight the rifle rather than have a natural point of aim. The amount of cant in the rifle (not the scope) that has influence on my shooting at long range is less than what wind would be, and can’t be distinguished between the two. Get your comfortable hold, get the scope to track strait up and then set your anticant level, or if you don’t dial and use the reticle, get your reticle hold to impact strait up and set anticant level. With most but the very high end scopes, you rarely get tracking and reticles true with each other. [/QUOTE]
