[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1891956, member: 2736"] If you look at it this way, the barrel is never Level while shooting, it will always point up, unless you are shooting downhill. the bore has to be clocked level before you can level the horizontal recital level. the bore and the scope centerline should be one above the other and converge at one point/distance depending on the zero distance. In theory, if they don't converge to the same exact point, the rifle or the scope is not level and the farther you shoot, the bigger the error. If everything is truly level, spin drift will be easy and precise to calculate. The whole purpose of leveling everything is to do away with built in error and rely on shooter skills for those things that need to be compensated for. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
