Thread: Rifle canted, scope level

Most Running Target shooters have their rifles set up with a few degrees of cant. This is so you can lift to the shoulder and sight without having to tilt your head to the side. Less body movement required during the lift and less strain on muscles gives a fraction more time to acquire the target and a smoother track. In fast runs, you only have 2.5 seconds to lift, acquire and fire. The distance to target is always the same so once the rifle is zeroed, all good.

I can’t imagine operating with cant and varying distances because your scope adjustments are going to have to be in both axis.
