Hey guys,
Just mounted my first scope ever. I believe I did all the correct/necessary steps in installing but something might've gone amiss.
I used the segway reticle leveler that is set level on the receiver (it has a spirit level/bubble) and I aligned my reticle that way. I also used a wheeler torque wrench and made sure that the rings were all torqued equally etc.
however after completing and feeling satisfied I put my rifle back on my bipod, looked through the scope aaand the reticle is ever so slightly canted anti-clockwise. However when I re-checked it again using the segway leveler it did indeed line up. Note that when using the reticle leveler I don't actually put my cheek on the stock in a shooting position, rather I look at it from the rear of the butt stock dead straight since during the install I had it in a gun vice.
Is the slant/cant there due to my own slight head tilt when in a shooting position? even though I know the reticle/scope etc is level to the receiver/rifle bore? or should I re-situate the reticle so that it looks level when I'm in a shooting position?
Newbie ever so lost haha.
