[QUOTE="aroshtr, post: 1053307, member: 9176"] MOA Chaser: If you install a level that mounts to your scope tube... You can get away without changing the current position of your scope. You may have to make some minor changes to your zero after the level is set. Quick way: 1. For quick reference use a small level on your turret cap or elevation knob, and install the scope tube mounted level to match this. This will get you very close to where you will need to be, but... 2. You will eventually need to confirm by shooting on a vertical line at 100 yards, or long distance testing, that when you dial your scope (or use your hold over reticle) that you bullet impact stays on the vertical line. I know it has been argued before, but it not necessary that your scope be aligned perfectly with the bore if you are using a scope tube mounted level. If you use a rail mounted level, it is necessary. Don't be afraid of this process, and you do not need any special tools. Some of these simple steps, and a little testing will get your level dialed in. [/QUOTE]
