[QUOTE="farout, post: 888019, member: 39061"] I use a plumbob for the crosshairs too. Current procedure is: Level action by removing bolt and placing small bubble level on the flat action area between the bolt opening and tang. I then mount scope and align the crosshairs to a plumbob. Last I mount a bubble level on the scope for reference while shooting. For my level of shooting skill, this seems to work well. I stopped trying to level the ring bases or use them as reference, since they can be off and the only way I know to remedy that is to bed them to the action and that is a lot of work for me. Main reason I like the bar stock idea, is it seems more repeatable. If I remove the scope for some reason and relevel, the piece of bar stock might make for a more consistent reference. [/QUOTE]
