[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 167482, member: 4885"] All, Growing up a shade tree mechanic and fixing more than my fair share of stuff with duct tape and baling wire, I always have my eyes open for 'efficient' ways to do things. After receiving my picatinny mount $69 scope level for the 338AM Kirby is building for me, I decided I NEEDED a level on my old Rem 700 7RM. One day I'm at Walmart and notice a $2 picture frame hanger that has a small bubble level on it. Well, 10 minutes and a couple drops of Gorilla glue, and that level was attached to the inside of the Butler Creek flip up scope cap. I have only been using it this summer, but it works great. [IMG]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u193/AJPeacock_photos/IMG_1716.jpg[/IMG] I just roughed up the back of the level and glued it on (making sure it was horizontal). I glued it on with the scope cap off of the scope. After it was dry, I put the rifle in a vise and leveled it, then put the scope cap on and leveled it. I then marked the scope and cap with a lead pencil, so I can easily verify that everything stays square. The one thing I haven't checked yet, is what happens when it freezes? :-0 AJ [/QUOTE]
