[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1046299, member: 34084"] That depends a lot on your rifles and rings. Custom rifles usually have trued receivers and straight barrels, so there is no significant offset between the receiver and the bore at the muzzle. Some rings have less offset than others. That’s not information that ring manufacturers usually provide. Unless you measure the offset, you won’t know how well centered the rings are. If your gun safe has some factory rifles with a variety of different rings, however, then the chances of having a misaligned reticle are pretty good. If you don’t already have a reticle alignment tool and a high quality spirit level, then you will find the RingTrue tool to be pretty useful. I developed the RingTrue Reticle Alignment Tool because I saw the need for features that I didn’t see in other tools: [LIST=1] [*]Accurate spirit level. The RingTrue tool is hand assembled on a level surface plate and the spirit level is permanently aligned to within +/-0.25 degree of plumb (+/- 15 MOA). It’s guaranteed to be accurate to within +/- 0.5 degree. This accuracy is needed for aligning an anti-cant indicator. The accuracy is much better than hardware store levels, the Level Level Level, and most other alignment tools. [*]Reticle alignment tool. The use of the RingTrue tool to plumb the rifle and align a reticle and/or turret axis to the rifle bore is quick and requires no other tools. It can be used just about anywhere: at the range, in your garage, or on your kitchen table. [*]Right angle. Often you need a right angle to index off the side of the turret housing because the top is blocked by a large knob. All the edges of the RingTrue tool are machined to be square and provide surfaces that are either parallel or perpendicular to the spirit level. [*]Index lines for aligning printed targets plumb to the earth. Plumb bobs require some time to set up and are not easy to use at a public range. The clear substrate and printed bold center line on the Ring True tool enables a target to be easily aligned so that the vertical lines are plumb to the earth. [*]Good balance. The tool is designed with a low center of gravity so that it will rest upright on a turret cap without falling over. [/LIST] My objective was to put all of those features in one tool and sell it for an affordable price. At $30, the RingTrue tool is a pretty good bargain, especially when you consider that it actually eliminates the reticle misalignment error, provides an accurate plumb line for aligning a target or an anti-cant indicator, and you really don’t need any other tools.
