[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2829899, member: 1039"] It depends on the the rifle. Some have the anti-cant device built in the scope cap (Nightforce rings). My CZ457's base has it built into it (.22's need love too). I also have the style that clamps onto the tube. Of course, like 338 dude says, first level the scope. Be meticulous about it. [URL='https://defensiveedge.net/products/']DE[/URL] sells angle cosine indicator with or without the anti-cant device or just the anti-cant scope rings. I've seen the Nightforce caps with anti-cant devices at the usual places on the internet (just bought a set from Midway or maybe it was Brownells. I hate when I'm off work for a holiday. It gets expesive) I'm so used to checking for level that the rifles that don't have the anti-cant device still get checked (which is irritating at the time). "Appurtenances" when needed are handy. My long range rifles also have angle cosine indicators. I saw a guy on YT shooting a nice Anschutz .22LR (nice = $3k) with Lapua's new extra long range .22 LR (not kidding, it's a thing).
