[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 237340, member: 9736"] The scope reticle is very rarely EXACTLY plumb with the flat on the bottom of the scope or the the turret caps. It must be exact for serious long range. Once you get the scope plumb use your power pole technique to get your rifle level and put a bubble level on your scope. There are several made that work really well. I bought mine for my 300 win mag from Shawn at Defensive Edge. Great guy with great service. Look at the cosine indicator if you shoot in the mountains and you can mount the level and the indicator on the same mount. Spin drift only applies to really long range from what I know about it. It was used for long range artillery calculations. Comes into play when you are shooting miles instead of yards. The scope level thread is very interesting I printed it and have read it several times. Good luck and let us know how you do. [/QUOTE]
