[QUOTE="woods, post: 234483, member: 6042"] Actually you can cant your rifle with no ill effects as long as you are holding the reticle level. An extreme example would be David Tubbs rifle [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/TubbSilhouetterifle.jpg[/IMG] After going through a scope rotation and canting problem, I now use and EXD Device [url=http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/productdetail.aspx?p=6097&st=289-100-000&s=14989]EXD ENGINEERING VERTICAL RETICLE INSTRUMENT at Brownells[/url] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/DSCN0481.jpg[/IMG] to align the scope with the bore. If you set your rifle up in a vise and use the EXD that will insure that the rifle is uncanted. Then you rotate your scope to level the crosshairs on some distant object, I use a 4' level on a fence 30 yards away. When you get the crosshairs level and the EXD device level and lock things down then you have a good start. But you have to transfer that level to the field. Like overbore, I use an anti-cant device, usually one of these [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/highresimage.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/DSCN0638.jpg[/IMG] but I also have one of these [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/microlevel.gif[/IMG] which are the best since you can aim and level without losing cheek weld. After all, 6 degrees of cant sounds like a lot, but it is only 1 minute on the clock face. [/QUOTE]
