I was simply trying to say that you can't just level the reticle to the bore and assume all is well.
That is what I was trying very poorly to say. Just aligning to the reticle isn't enough. You have to check the turret alignment as well, and for me, I do that first, then check the reticle. IF the mechanics aren't aligned, nothing is going to work right regardless of what the reticle looks like.
Keep in mind, you can pass a tall target test with a canted reticle as long as the mechanics are lined up and the rifle is level. The reticle will be cocked and drive you nuts, but it will track just fine up and down the target. Then you send the scope in to be fixed.

Got it, now it all came together
