Finished the 6.5 build, mounted the scope (Athlon 4.5-24 x50) and bore sighted it. Set the focal length to suit me and have a question guys. This is my first scope - fired one on a 7mm mag a friend had once and it left a nice cut in the eyebrow. That broke me of the scope habit! But the years have dimmed things down and can I see the iron sights or the target but can't see them both at the same time anymore it seems. So scope time. Now for the question:
When I throw the rifle to my shoulder it has a normal cant to the left of about 5 -10 degrees. Stock length is comfortable, my hand grip seems norma, and the rifle is comfortable. Of course the reticle is on a cant now. I presume I plumb the reticle to suit my normal head position instead of plumb to the rifle. Is this the right way?
Don't know if I'm asking this the right way - does it make sense?
