[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1783706, member: 97050"] It’s assumed that the receiver and the barrel is squared enough. A trued action is more precise, this is usually one of many difference between a well built attention to detail action vs a mass produced. I know some people don’t think the bullet rises when it leaves the barrel, and some people might, both are technically true. A barrel/action generally has about 2 degree of upward travel built in. This allows the bullet to move slightly upward to give some freedom of movement since gravity acts upon it immediately after leaving. I’m not going to get into yaw as it has no bearing on this. I want to state this has little to no general effect, but though it was worth mentioning to give context to this next bit. Because the scope sits above the the bore also adds a upward travel of the barrel hence, for any of you that that’s done a battle zero, you get a 50/200m zero or 25/300 if you’re in the corps. So the reticle.... If you have a (#) degree cant to the left you will have a shot that is left...AND low as well. It does effect drop to that end. [/QUOTE]
