[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2801736, member: 115658"] 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.
