[QUOTE="overbore, post: 234292, member: 2981"] Since I just finished mounting a scope and an anti cant device, ACD, to my son's rifle, I found the following data that is most useful to game and target shooters: "According to the Marine Corps Sniper Manual, compensating for cant/tilt is critical to long range shooting. At 1,000 yards 6 degrees of tilt will move the bullet strike 55 inches from point of aim's impact with no tilt! Six degrees of tilt at one hundred yards(100) moves the impact 1/2 (0.5) inches." Here is a chart of tilt effects at 600 yards and 1,000 yards: 600 yds 1,000 yards Angle of tilt 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 degrees Distance from level zero impact in inches .5 2.3 4.5 6.7 9.0 11.0 9.0 18.0 27.0 37, 47.0 55 in. No wonder we miss!! Overbore [/QUOTE]
