[QUOTE="Naymola, post: 1700846, member: 3843"] This subject has mystified me for many years regarding exact alignment of the action to the reticle. So with our hunting rifles, we get the reticle aligned with the action and we have a anti-cant bubble on the scope and all is lined up- perfectly. Close your eyes and shoulder the gun, with a nice firm grip and a cheek weld. When you open your eyes, I'd bet it's canted. For years I simply, align a anti cant bubble with the vertical cross hair and then shoulder the gun several times where it feels natural to me, aiming at a door jam, window frame,etc across the street from my house and adjust till the bubble is consistently level after shouldering it. Why such a emphasis for the action being level? For sure if we are shooting bench rest with stocks with wide forearms designed to fit a specific shooting rest, where the stock and reticle are aligned, not the action. The rifle doesn't care if it's canted, straight up, sideways. What matters is a consistent position each time it's fired, the anti-cant device assures a consistent position. [/QUOTE]
