[QUOTE="Matthew Courtney, post: 1310930, member: 101396"] "Gentlemen, Yes, we see alot of shooters who cant the rifle. The easiest cure is to purchase a scope level and mount it on the scope tube ( do so when we are making the reticle plumb with the rifle in the vise) This is a great truth detector and will aid you in long range shooting. If Len okays it, I'll do an article as to the effect of reticle cant at long range. Sincerely Darrell Holland" "Cure"? Seriously, "Cure"? As if canting a rifle is a disease? I would submit that if a shooters execution of the fundamentals is best done with a canted rifle, that it is a narrow attitude that "what is best for me is best for everyone" is more of an issue than said canted rifle. If the cant of the rifle is congruous with the cant of the scope upon it, the maximum total detrimental effect of such is the distance of the scope height over bore(2 inches or less on most bolt Guns, 2.6 inches on most AR's) AT ANY DISTANCE. This is while every miscue in the correct application of the fundamentals is magnified by the distance, as are errors in estimating wind, range, and most other variables. When the max error for something is 2-2.6 inches at 1500 yards, I would not put that thing before the correct execution of the fundamentals and developing mastery of wind and range estimation.
