Again a static target at a static range you can undo any variations that cant or poor scope alignment built into your system by simply cranking the turrets to a pre determined spot. In the real world of hunting at unknown ranges with unknown variables it is much wiser to eliminate as many variables as possible.
0.1-0.8” at 1000 yards is a dead gopher. Don’t think silhouette shooters would have an issue killing gophers. You can’t even adjust most scopes to correct for that. Find another variable to focus on as a level reticle zerod on a canted rifle isn’t your Huckleberry. Wind speed reading and canting your reticle would be my suggestion on where to start.
