Default RE: Leveling crosshairs

I've seen this problem a lot over the years.The problem comes in when some shoulder the weapon a little canted. Say you put the gun in a vise and align the crosshairs perfectly plumb. Now the owner shoulders the weapon and the crosshairs look canted. Now, the question becomes which is right. If you try to make the shooter shoulder the weapon where the crosshairs are plumb then the weapon feels odd and not shoot well. Conversely, if you align the crosshairs to where they appear plumb when the shooter shoulders the weapon. They may be canted to the centerline of the weapon.
