[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1892708, member: 54963"] I am no mathematician or ballistic expert, but the bore axis is never parallel to the optical axis. If they were, then the bullet would never impact at the POA. The line of sight is straight, but the bore is always canted in the upward direction. If the bore is off to the left or right due to not being in the same vertical axis (when the reticle is true but the rifle is canted), then the barrel has to be canted upward and either to the left or right slightly. Would this not cause the bullet to start its journey with some left or right 'english' (depending on the rifle cante)? [/QUOTE]
