[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1892094, member: 107384"] No and it should be obvious why. If you've installed your scope properly it should be fixed to the rifle and not turn when you cant the rifle. Your top half of your diagram should look like this. The scope doesn't rotate in the rings when you cant the rifle as your diagram shows. It's still aligned with the bore just like it was when it was perfectly vertical. A rifle canted to 45 degrees won't shoot to the same POI as it was at perfect vertical but it should shoot to the same point if consistently canted to 45 degrees. Just like consistency of case preparation and loading technique, consistency of hold is the key to shooting tight groups. Why not get a quality made level like I showed earlier and put it on a Pic rail? That would allow you to "level" the rifle. If you use 2 piece bases that won't work.
