[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1014650, member: 41122"] I didnt say just do what the best shooters do, its just not that easy. Isaid look at their gear. Seeing what good shooters choose to use and understanding why can only help your shooting and understanding. Im not trying to offer you pi** poor advice, im trying to help you understand the importance of a very cheap piece of gear. Which is prooving way harder than it should be. Try to process this. The 1/4 moa adjustments in your scope are a very small angular increment on a very fine pitch screw. One click is somewhere in the neighborhood of .0002"-.0005" of a change on the erector tube (depending on the length of the tube). Now look at your scope are determine with its current height how much of an angle it would take to move your erector tube .0002"-.0005" in relation from your rifles bore. I promise your eye cannot discern the amount youve deduced. When you go test your level you probably wont see much difference from normal shooting. Keep it on and keep using it and you will see your verticle is a little more consistent and wind calls are a little more predictable. Now when you miss you have a better chance of understanding and isolating the reason why. This is how this game works. Its small gains, a bunch of little variables. If you want to keep progressing, eliminating as many of those variables and learning to predict the ones that are left are the only way. [/QUOTE]
