Do you cant the scope clockwise to compensate? Send it back for reticle alignment? Which variable in the mounting and confirmation process do you focus on to find and fix the problem?
If I mount the scope to a solid object with the reticle aligned with a plumb line at say 50 yds, then crank the elevation turret through its range and watch the cross hairs consistently drift off the plumb line to the left or right, is it time to send it back for realignment? How much mis-alignment is considered allowable?
I guess this is why some are willing to pay up to $3500 for a scope so they don't have to worry about these issues! Buy once, cry once.
