Get your cheek weld consistent, then place your reticle perpendicular to what you're aiming at. Your windage and elevation will still work as advertised as even though you have the gun tilted a bit, up is up and so forth. I have a Garand that I put a scope on and by the nature of the beast, I have to roll the gun off to the side to get the scope where I can look through it. If you would look through the scope with the gun straight up, the scope would be a few degrees off. I'm using a mil-surp cheek pad to get a good weld. The point is, I use my scope adj. just like I do on my conventional guns.
In other words, if you've got cant when you shoulder the gun after you you've squared everything else away, rotate the scope to where it's supposed to be.
There was a high power shooter back 10-15 years ago, I can't recall his name( G. David Tubb it is) that actually promoted learning how to set up your gun with cant built in. The guy was a national champ and it was weird looking at his hold.
Okay, bye
