Per my question above, does the DNT Zulus LRF compensate for CANT if my gun is not vertical. This question applies to 312 and 520 models.
I know that it does for angles up and down.
Thanks.

DNT Zulus LRF - does it compensate for CANT in addition to pitch?
- Thread starter Ultralight
- Start date
Thanks. I didn't think so but saw a post somewhere on the web that it did.
Thanks for the confirmation.

Really?? There's an application out there that auto corrects you holding your gun crooked??

Some digital scopes do account for cant. Mathwise, not difficult as long as it has all the ballistics including scope height off the muzzle.

Of all the digital scopes I have - ATN, PARD, HIKMICRO, Oneleaf, DNT, Element and ThermTec none of them automatically correct for cant. All will correct for forward angle. Having a cant correction would be nice as I am in the habit of always checking my level - either analog or digital - prior to the shot... time permitting when hunting.

I don't think it will real time correct for cant yet but they could program for it. I know you can toggle a readout on the display to show you how bad and which way you are rolling but it's up to you to correct..... Which I assume you've found.

My Zulus shows cant, but doesn’t correct it. It also doesn’t correct for spin drift. At 100 yards and beyond, I have to hold for it.

This is the reply from DNT Tech Support.
Quick answer: Yes! The scope’s built-in gyroscope automatically compensates for both pitch AND cant in real-time. Just aim and shoot – no perfect vertical alignment needed. Happy shooting!

Well it hasn't done any real time correcting for me. I have mine in holdover and the red cross hair doesn't move around other than my elevation hold? If I'm missing out on some hidden features or settings I have wrong, I genuinely would appreciate correction.

You may well be right. I am simply relaying info from DNT Tech Support. They are not infallible, but this is at least worth additional tests. I think a test at short distances where a gun is shooting one-hole groups will tell the story. As I noted, technically, this should not be difficult as long as the data input is correct.
I know that the DNT has been incredible for me. I zeroed at 27 yards. And tested at 36 and 69 yards. Spot on without further adjustments. Just an amazing kit.

I use my 3-12 LRF a lot also and have never noticed a "cant correction" while shooting it! One would think that if that were the case, the HUD would show the actual and then move it to "level" before the shot was taken or some form of "I made a change" so one could notice it!
