[QUOTE="carl1775, post: 1442066, member: 105682"] Super novice shooter, but does it matter which degree left or right of plumb your rifle is when calculating for "spin drift?" Regardless of the rotation of the platform and its orientation to the aiming device are irrelevant. The rifling is still imparting the same amount of rotation across the same mass (bullet). You are just adding an added calculation to rise and drop, in the form of deflection, left and right. Even then, as the optics are canted across the y axis, the correction would appear as an arc and not a direct 1:1 adjustment. Or, am I way over thinking this? Any way, unless I was prepared to hit the range and create metered dope at a large breadth of ranges... it's probably easiest to keep the rifle and optics upright and level and fit the stock to your specifications.
