This is a great thread to ressurect. I myself have levels on my rifles, and have read the theorycrafting and drawings of cant effects. Kudos to Brasscow for taking the time to show real effects. More dramatic than I thought, and at least a bit of unexpected results hitting high....compared to most of the diagrams showing a L cant will hit low and L, etc.
I also thought someone would have taken it a bit further. Like showing incremental effects.....say 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 degrees of cant. Also Battleaxe mentioned something that I've been thinking while reading thru the thread. What are the effects of the axis of cant? If the rifle pivots/cants along the exact axis of the bore will the effect be less dramatic than, say, a bipod that has a pivot point 3 inches below bore? Would that even matter?
When firing with the rifle canted at a full 90 degrees you will see a large elevation shift.
according to this visual tool, the effect of rifle cant would manifest itself into a shot (or groups) moving right and DOWN or left and DOWN. The actual field test shows the bullets moving right and UP and left and UP. Any ideas why the field test appears to reflect data that is contrary to the visual aid tool?
