If I am shooting a rifle canted to the right 30 and 90 degrees where will the bullet flight be?

The bullet will fly the same. The rotation of the rifle will not affect trajectory.

You just need to account for any deviation in the bore/optic relationship.

Just ask some inner-city home boys. They shoot their guns cocked over at 90-degrees all the time.

Common issue for people who shoot in unconventional positions (think AR's or other carbines). Practice it with your best guess and see where you impact your targets. It is very hard to be accurate at multiple ranges (at least for me). Best to experience it if you think you will ever need to shoot in those kind of positions.
