The horizontal offset has nothing to do with gravity, or the shape of the bore, it's simple geometry. And even though the scope adjustments will not be affected, as long as the scope is level. if the rifle is canted, there will be a horizontal offset. Unless the crosshairs are directly above the bore, the windage can only be correct at one distance. An extreme example would be a side mount scope used on a top eject model 94, where the crosshairs are offset horizontally, the scope adjustments work normally, but the windage can only be correct at one distance.
