0.75" with a .125 degree cant
.07" with a .0125 degree cant
One degree of cant on a rifle with a level reticle you only get 0.07" at 1000 yards.
If naturally you are 1 degree of cant you are most likely way more than 0.0125 degrees of cant when trying to hold level as even with a bubble level you are probably 0.5 degrees of cant. Doesn't take a statistician to see the math.

Would you care to try again to actually answer the question? Using the same scope, what statistics do you have that indicate that it would it be far more likely to cant the scope if it is mounted true over a vertical rifle, than if it is mounted on a canted rifle?
