[QUOTE="joeycoates, post: 881242, member: 72330"] I have a 6-24x50 PST in FFP that I just received Thursday and it has a little bit of cant as well. I checked it against a door jab at my house which I too used a digital level and verified that the door jab is vertical (89.9 degree's which is actually pretty good if you have ever tried to measure wall/jabs at your house, you would be amazed at how many are not vertical). Anyway, my reticle is also canted a little bit to the left. Unlike you I have not measured the exact amount as my level is simply too large to reliably put on top of the cap to measure the exact difference, but it is off by a small amount. Very small to be sure, but it is none the less off. I first noticed it when I put the Vortex bubble level on and aligned it to the turret. When I put the reticle on the door jab the bubble was buried hard left. So I thought maybe the bubble was not level in its mount so I aligned the windage turret up with the door jab and the bubble was perfectly level, but the reticle was canted to the left of vertical as related to the door jab. I do not know if I am going to send it back or what I am going to do. I have tried to convince myself that it is just me seeing something that is not there, but the more I measure and re-measure the more obvious it is that it is not me. I do know that none of my other scopes have this issue from various other manufactures. What did you end up doing Felixx? [/QUOTE]
