Angle Rifle Scope
Angle Rifle Scope
Does it matter if my scope reticule isn't perfectly square and parallel to my rifle and the horizon? Accuracy?
I just mounted my scope on my .270, and I don't think it's perfectly square to the rifle because the reticule looks like it's angling to the right, but only by a fraction, but it's hardly noticeable. Is this going to affect my accuracy? I'm shooting foxes out to 300-400m. And how much may this affect my accuracy at 400m?
As long as you shoot at the exact range you sighted it in at, the crosshairs will always be on target....but as Mongo said, when you start shooting longer or shorter than that sighted in range, you have to use the vertical line to figure holdover or under....and the greater the range diff from where you sighted it in at, the greater that will put you off target. So if you sighted it in at 200 yards, a 200 yard shot will be perfectly sighted....but a shot at even 300 yards could be a couple of feet off to one side. A shot at 100 yards would be just as off to the other side. Take the time to get it right. You won't be sorry.
