[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 1892243, member: 42494"] Wrong, wrong, wrong. You need to rethink this for about a minute instead of a second. If your scope is not directly aligned over your barrel, you will shoot to the same side of your target as your cant when you dial for long ranges (ie. right cant = miss right, left cant = miss left). The scope ring height results in a triangle shape between your barrel and the scope, so you need to apply your trigonometry to calculate the results. If the scope was looking down the center of the barrel, you would be correct, but it isn't, it is 1.5 inches above your barrel. So, when you cant, the center of the scope moves 1.5 inches to the side resulting in a triangle. [/QUOTE]
