[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1235750, member: 91090"] This little gadget works great.for me [url=http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/sight-scope-installation-tools/scope-reticle-levelers/optic-leveler-prod75317.aspx]OPTIC LEVELER | Brownells[/url] I use to worry about whole lot.about getting the reticle level. This thing does it no problem. But there are other problems. If I am shooting of bags on the bench free recoil and use my level built into my scope mount a level reticle works great. But if I am shooting one of my hunting rifles and pull it up tight in my shoulder pocket I have a natural cant. Really hard to compensate for. I have tried several ideas. What I do now is shoot a group as far as I can see the target clearly, dial in as much vertical as I can and keep it on the target, pick what I feel is the center of the group and draw a heavy line through it. Then I measure the distance from the vertical line on the target and draw another line on the opposite side of the target like my canted line. Set the rifle up level and align the reticle up with my new line. Not perfect but close. Looks a little funny when you have the rifle level but looks level when it is shouldered for shooting [/QUOTE]
