The cross hairs should be square to the rifle not square to the shooter. If not, your scope will not track properly, shots at different distances will be left or right of the center line and adjusting the scope for sight in will be a pain.
I have found that many right handed shooters will have their cross hairs 5 or 10 degrees to the left and vice versa for lefties if they install their own scope. It is from squeezing the rifle too much in anticipation of the recoil. Relaxing the grip makes for more accurate shooting and straightens the cross hairs right up.
