[QUOTE="Triple BB, post: 1699762, member: 947"] Wondering if anyone has run into this. I mount my scope and use one of those small levels that fits in the action and then sit a bubble level on the turret of my NXS. I get it so the bubbles match perfect. After shooting it at distance I can tell it’s canted. I do a ladder test and confirm it’s off. So I get the gun set up and verify the action is perfectly level. I hang a plumb bob 80 yards away and sure enough its canted at about 11:57. With the bubble on the turret the bubble is touching the line while it’s perfectly centered on the action. I checked both bubble levels on two quality levels I use for construction and both were on. I should’ve gone to the plumb bob to begin with. Is it unusual for a turret on a quality scope to not match the action. [/QUOTE]
