Do you shoot with a bubble level attached to your bases? If not might want to re-think that.
Target boards are nice but not always the most accurate. hanging aplub line insures straightenss as well if not better than anything.
You need to make sure your action is level. Typically if you have a flat scope base you can easily do this.
find aplace in your house or go to a building that has room and hangle a thing piece of white rope with a weight on the end. Heavy enough to insure the rope is very straight.
You need then to put you rifel in a vice or insure your rifle ( action is level )
We would like to think allturrets and cross hairs are square but they often are not. Placing a level on the top turret isn't always accurate.
Because I shoot well beyond 500 yards on a regular basis. I found out light years ago the easiest way to miss is rifle cant. Many over look this. Therefore the bubble levels that mounts to you base have always worked the best.
Brownells has some and USO makes a very nice one.
I would stay away from the scope mounted ones as they are kind of a pain to get "square" to your action and match your crosshairs.
Once you rifle action is level using a plumb line is the easiest way to match your verticle cross hair.
Another neat thing is to go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a lazer line level you cna mount this on any wall the you can press a thumb tac into.
If you turn the lights off in a rommo ro dim them the red laser shows up very good against the black cross hairs. Most of thies laser line levels have a multiple buble levels built right into them.
Hope this helps. Although gyroscopic drift may have some input. I doubt 3moa of it is applicable.
