It doesn't take any special math to see the problem. Draw a line to represent a level shot straight out of a gun, no drop or anything.
Then draw one parallel to it to represent a normal scope mount.
Then draw one almost parallel to it, with a degree or two of down angle. You'll see that it will cross the rifle line at some point, and then the further you go the further it moves away from the other two lines.
Meaning that if you have an inclinced base and your equations doen't take it into account, you will have increasing errors the further your target is.
