[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1450327, member: 68875"] I do not necessarily agree with it leveling an action, the making sure reticle is plumb. If you have a canned reticle, and the scope body is not plumb to the gun, your tracking will cause L-R shift when you dial elevation. And could also cause a false plumb and bullet drop will be off at distance. As for ring cap levels, just get rifle and scope level. Tighten front ring cap to limit scope rotation, and when tightening rear cap, alternate screws when tightening, and do no more than 1/8 turn on each screw at a time. It might take a few tries, but should be doable. [/QUOTE]
