RE: Usually you can’t...if you CANT: Get a scope level
Thanks @swenger it makes an amazing difference at long range. Out to say, 500m, not so much, well not 3 degrees or so anyway. 90 degrees right cant drops my bullet about 5 inches low and 3 inches right at only 250m!
Anyway, thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.
Most people don't realize how a minor variance grows over distance. That's one of the reasons I have trouble believing the Las Vegas shooter would have been using a bump stock for distances over 300 yards (not to mention the 32nd floor). While pinpoint accuracy is not crucial when your target is a crowd, a 1 inch "bounce" upwards on an 18 inch barrel results in a shot roughly 50 inches (4 feet) high at a distance of 300 yards (not factoring in the angle from the 32nd floor, and change in the effect of gravity on the increased arc).
Yes, there’s a lot of discrepancies with that incident. Notice how it seems to have just disappeared off the radar?
Replaced with the next in a series of distractions. Although that story fell apart rapidly due to the many inconsistencies.
The same old story and so it goes...
