[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1044734, member: 7503"] In a nut shell " it is easier" "Plus it is right in front of my eye" Let me explain the easier part. Bed the rail. Mount the scope leaving top ring caps loose. Position and mount level to rail. Then keeping the level bubble centered look through the scope and rotate the scope until it is true to plumb line. tighten scope ring caps making sure the scope does not move while tightening. Done. But, as I said, no matter how we do this we are not done till we shoot it in making sure it tracks true to plumb line when dialing elevation into the turret. Jeff edit: ps, if you intentionally want to cant your rifle, then use a scope mounted level. Bbecause the rail mounted level will encourage and insure you do not cant the rifle. [/QUOTE]
