I have a CZ Model 527 in .223. Very nice rifle. I had been having trouble getting the the scope leveled and the crosshairs in a perfect vertical / horizontal position. So, I enlisted the aid of a local gunsmith who has the proper equipment to level the scope, adjust the reticles, and bore sight the scope. The scope is a quality Leupold Varix III 3.5x10x40.
So, it is done. When I bring the rifle to my shoulder the vertical reticle extends up from about the 5:55 position to 11:55 at the top. I have to tilt the gun slightly to the right to have the crosshairs in a perfect vertical and horizontal plain. In other words, the up and down reticle is canted slightly to the left.
Here is my question. Assuming that the gunsmith did a competent job should I learn to shoot the rifle the way it is set or should I readjust the reticles so that they automatically appear to be perfectly aligned for me?
I hope I have explained myself clearly.
