I finally got a 10X SuperSniper scope for my Remington 700 sps and after taking the time to make sure my scope was properly mounted and leveled I noticed an issue with my sight picture. When I put my cheek to the stock I noticed the reticle did not appear straight up and down so I got to thinking why not, what am I doing wrong? Then I got to thinking that by leaning my head over to the stock it gives my eye that slight tilt. So I got to wondering, is this right?

So my question is that when you put your face to the stock, you kinda place the bottom of the Zygomatic bone on top of the stock should I also be trying to put my jaw / mandible against the side of the stock or am I supposed to just get used to the tilt?
