[QUOTE="Euler, post: 2009949, member: 107601"] That should absolutely not be the takeaway. Vertical is effected far less compared to horizontal, and you aren't going to be off by 5" vertically at 300 yards because of cant. The examples are always a 308 shooting 1,000+ yards and 5 or 10 or more degrees of cant. That is not reality. If you don't know you have 10 degrees of cant, you might want to see a neurologist. Some food for thought: we all have levels built into our bodies, and you should be able to tell plumb to within about a 1-degree. If you cannot tell the difference, you should work on it. Also, the bubble levels are not always correct, rails are not always horizontal, tube mounted bubbles can get loose and move, etc. Something like a Sendit level would be better, but most guys aren't using those.
