Physics tells us that it is only a misguided perception.

The shooter's line of sight, presuming he has mounted the gun correctly and has his cheek firmly on the comb, resembles a ray. A ray is perfectly straight but is not a line. A line has a beginning and an end while a ray has neither. The line of sight follows a ray along the rib, through the bead or beads and continues in a predetermined direction through a point at a specific distance ahead of the moving target.

No barrel length will change this.
