So a bullet rises above boreline after it leaves the muzzle?
NO -- the scope is pointed down, so you are pointing the barrel up when you shoot in relation to the sight plane.
Think before you ask these things !
I ain't the one not thinking.
Time for a drink, ain't gonna get any better... lol
the scary thing is -
In gun smithing school, they taught us that a bore is never straight when it's compared to how the barrel is oriented, then demonstrated it on the lathe by putting a guide rod in it and spinning it.
THEN they told us the best smith practice is to mount the barrel indexed in a way that the bore as it leaves the rifle is pointing UP !!!
I [bleep] you not !
So ... considering we're really talking about bore alignment - nope, it goes straight.
BUT the bore is often angled up as it leaves the barrel.
Not to mention the bore to sight plane converge at the target so if your sighting in in over 200 yards the bore is pointing up to counter the 1.5" between the bore line and the sight line.
So - Yeah
