US OpticsDon't know the brand offhand but I like the ones that mount on the scope rail. I mount them left of the scope. Easy,not expensive and they work.

Were are you leveling the rifle from if not using a pic rail but just using rings?Bubble levels - carpenters have been using bubble type levels for 100's of years - simple devices.
I paid about $10 for this one at a local pawn shop - works great, most likely die cast aluminum, I lapped the inside to improve contact with scope tube. I mounted it and use it just like as described by ShootnMathews ("I can look through the scope with my right eye and see the bubble with my left eye without moving my head").
Mounting the bubble level on the scope correctly is essential and the level needs to coincide (correspond in position; meet or intersect) with the reticle, like don't depend on using the top of the elevation dial as a reference.
Knowing the consequences of scope cant and how to calculate cant error is helpful. A 1-degree cant will cause a lateral error of almost 2 inches with an 87 VMax at 3450 fps at 650 yards.

Understanding rifle cant includes understanding physics, but the most errors come from not holding the rifle bore axis and scope axis on a vertical planewww.ssusa.org
Knowing how to precisely mount the bubble level to coincide with the reticle is essential:

If the scope is leveled? I level the rifle by placing a standard level on top of the scope cap and leveling the rifle and then place the ring level on. You can also add it while leveling the scope using a scope leveling kit. If you don't have a leveling kit place the scope in the rings and put it on a flat level surface and place a level on top of the scope cap. Level the scope in the rings and add the level. Then Mount the scope. Any of these methods will work. You will need either a scope leveling kit or a standard short level. Hope that made sense and helps!Were are you leveling the rifle from if not using a pic rail but just using rings?
