[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1001909, member: 41122"] Less error than the accuracy of the rifle at your furthest range. Its extremely difficult to clock a scope to comp for a windage deviation without knowing the erector position, length, or angle. Which is why i advised against that methodology for compensating for your crooked bases. Your gonna check the rifle with the tool, and once it checks out then youll shoot it, and if it shoots poorly, youre gonna fix it with the same tool? I never level off the rings. I set two levels on my base (forward and aft), one on the elevation turret, and i align the reticle with a plum bob 100 yards away. Do this at your lowest and highest elevation setting and youll be very close. This tool also helps.
