If the scope and bore are perfectly parallel, the horizontal offset can actually be the same at all ranges. But no matter how you adjust the scope, you can't eliminate that error at more than one range.

I'm with Chuck on this one. Introduce some cant until the cross hair is verticle and you're good to go.
If you do as Chuck suggested, and rotate drawing 2 until the crosshairs are level, the bore moves off to the side, creating horizontal offset.
