[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2623681, member: 118816"] Well there is cant and there is level. I installed a Vortex level on my 30-06, which is my primary target rifle and found that even a slight cant can send the bullet to places unknown. My normal pull up to shoot position is a full bubble off of level, doesn't sound like much but can cause a flyer when one would think that the round broke perfect, except not quite level. Shooting with a level mounted where it is visible on the scope can reduce your shot group probably not quite by half. I am sure that some of the flyers that people report is due to the rifle not being level. Conversely if someone shoots with the same exact cant each and every shot and has the rifle zeroed for shooting with that cant it won't make difference. Problem is, are we shooting with the same cant each and every time? [/QUOTE]
