Regardless of who you are, canting the rifle will result in a horizontal offset. What does vary, is how much offset there is, and how you deal with it. One degree will only result in around .010" of offset for the average scope/rifle setup, so one or two degrees will mean nothing to the average big game hunter. Now if you cant the rifle 30 degrees, that is about 1/3" of offset , so if you zero at 100 yards, it means an error of about 1-1/4" at 500 yards. But if you set your horizontal zero at 250 yards, the error is only 1/3'" at any point within 500 yards.
