[QUOTE="dbhostler, post: 123764, member: 799"] Yes, I understand that you are saying the only thing that needs to be level is the reticle, the position of the rifle is irrelevant, right?. When I refer to a "canted" scope, I am refering to a reticle that is not "aligned" with the way you hold your rifle. In my way of shooting, I "level" both the reticle and the rifle with the Earth's gravitational pull, or the Horizon if you prefer. I have also found over the years that the more perpendicular the retical is with the bore and the more parallel over the bore you are, the closer to POA you will hit the farther out you reach especially if you adjust your elevation to that distance. I also use a level on the scope or the base. Good discussion. db [/QUOTE]
