[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1450318, member: 1521"] Is there some reason you really really want a 'ring cap' level? It cannot affect your shooting. Keep in mind also that a scope elevation cap does not well represent scope internal level. It's exterior to what actually matters. To identify plumb scope internals(crosshair or adjustments) you just point/align the scope at a plum line and set your scopelevel. That is if using crosshair holdover in the field. If dialing, you adjust elevation through full range to track along a plumb line, and set your scopelevel. You don't even need a gun for this. Then setup a gun as you intend to shoot it (maybe level in itself), place the level scope on it's rings, and lock it down. Load develop with the gun in this setup. That gun doesn't have to be level, and neither do the bases or rings. For a while I had a gun set up with a 7deg cant. I could put any of my level identified scopes on it and everything was fine.
