I mounted my SWFA 3-15x42 on my Edgun R5M about 6 months ago. I used a plumb Bob to align the vertical portion of the reticle and then confirmed that the scope was level with a bubble level on top of the elevation turret. I also placed a bubble level on top of the rear portion of the receiver which confirmed that it was leveled with the top of the turret. After everything was leveled, I installed a SWFA bubble level and made sure it was leveled with the other bubble levels.
The problem that I'm having is that when I raise my airgun horizontally and use the bubble level mounted to the scope, the vertical part of the reticle looks straight.
When I lower the gun from horizontal and aim into a decline ensuring that the bubble level is level, the reticle looks like this.
Is it just me or is my scope canted?
