[QUOTE="mwkelso, post: 1890703, member: 110880"] I think that the mounting is just a way to assure that tracking is accurate with some form of zero... The math side of me believes if the scope is mounted in on that 6/12 relationship, aka plumb, then shot while plumb, then reticle tracking is accurate. If mounted correctly but not shot while plumb, then there are 2 axis’s rotating, creating inconsistent reticle tracking. Which I believe would be the same if the reticle is plumb, but not plumb to the bore. Though that can be accounted for in a ballistics calculator as your offset. But the experience shooter side of me is shrugging my shoulders. I know the above to be true on paper, but I don’t know how much effect it has in the real world of long distance shooting. Clarification- I don’t mean the reticle tracking within the scope. I mean the reticle tracking with POI [/QUOTE]
