I was at the range today sighting in my Leupold Vari-X II atop my .300 Win. Mag. for deer season. Now I have it right where I want it, which is about 2" high at 50 yards. I got about a 1.5" group, but even though the scope is zeroed in, why does the reticle look crooked when I look through? The scope is in the mounts properly too. I mean obviously it doesn't have an effect on my zero, but shouldn't it be relatively straight up and down when I look through? Just curious, that's all. Thanks.
If you can ascertain that your scope is indeed mounted correctly and that it is not rotated slightly off center in the rings, then the most likely answer is that you are "canting" the rifle. Basically this means that when you shoulder the rifle's butt stock, you are twisting it slightly inward to line up with your eye. This has to do mostly with body positioning, but the end result is that if you can put your rounds where you want them, then there is no need to change. At longer ranges, this can become an issue-but if you are working with average deer hunting ranges, there is no need to be concerned...whatever gets the venison on the table is the right answer.
