    Thumbs up Scope height pros and cons advice please

    Morning all
    As title really, some people say that due to rifle cant a high scope will exaggerate POI shift, others say it makes no difference whatsoever!. How do you have yours?.
    Pros and cons on either please.
    Many thanks 😊

    Bore-scope offset changes the pattern of poi error with cant but not the magnitude of error. The best offset in any particular instance will depend on various factors such as what type of shooting you're doing, the diversity of ranges you might face, what feels most comfortable...there is no single correct offset.
    Best Regards

    I've got some slug guns.

    All that matters is the height & eye relief being natural to how you hold the rifle.
    If you have to either scrunch down or stretch up to get the correct scope picture then it's wrong & will place a strain on your muscles resulting in poor aim.
    Rather than try & work around cant, get a level so you can eliminate it.
