Though I don't mount my scopes with "cant" the first thing I would do would be to bore sight it.
Pull the bolt and secure the rifle by putting it in a rest, a cradle or on bags, then look down the bore centering it up on a distant object. The further the object the better. You should see concentric rings of light reflecting down the bore indicating center. Then adjust the crosshairs to the object in the center of the bore. Look back and forth a few times and make adjustments to get it right.
Then put the bolt in it and take a shot. Should be on the paper and if you did it right pretty close.
After you take your shot, set up in the rest as if to shoot the bullseye again and move the crosshairs to the bullet hole.
If done correctly you should be zeroed or very very close. Take a few more shots to confirm and make any minor adjustments.
Hope I just saved you some ammo.
Good luck BHJ
