[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 905012, member: 3756"] Vince51, I don't think canting is your problem, here is why... To be off 3" to the right at 200 yards with a 100 yards zero, you need the scope or rifle to be canted to the right a full [B]40°[/B]... That's a lot and you should have seen it when you peeked through the rifle scope. To have an idea how much 40° is, look at a clock on the wall that's hanging vertically and knowing that every five minutes tick mark is = 30°, draw an imaginary line from about the 7 minute mark that goes through the center of the clock and you'll see what I mean... just too much. I would be more inclined to check the base screw holes on your action for alignment. Use just the screws, the two furthest apart, screw them in a couple of turns and use them as sights... peek through the bore to see if they're moving in the same direction. If my numbers are right, you would need 0° 2' 51.89" of miss alignment to get those results... I think??? head scratching... I can't think... Are you left handed? :-) just a thought! Good luck!
