[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1636530, member: 17889"] Greyfox...that ole wind certainly separates the shooters from the trigger pullers!!! Ever notice how no one considers rifle cant? Brian Litz, Applied Ballistics, writes that research indicates few individuals can perceive closer than 3degrees cant.....which equates to about 42" at 1000yds.....plus any field optical illusions of vertical reference......and, of course, haste and buck fever. I'm betting that more misses are due to cant than anyone realizes. Even typically available vial levels (Vortex, NF, Accuracy 1st,...) are only about 3 degrees accurate. Electronic levels employ inclinometers that can be calibrated to 1deg or less....ie Sig Tango 6 in-scope LevelPlex or the Send-It unit (see Brownells).
