[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 552656, member: 8712"] I have a sim problem. I am left handed and when I level a scope and look thru it looks fine to me. I can plumb and square and level it 5 diff ways but if I hand the rifle to a RHer he'll invariably say "your crosshairs are crooked". I made a sort of a jig that sets on the rifle barrel and I put a 6" level on it. Then i go to the rear and put a square against the butt plate as a sort of a crosscheck as well as putting the 6" level on the scope base as a check. Then I level the scope with the elev cap off (or on if its a domed adjuster screw). In the 25 or so times I have used this method I've only had one scope be off and not track the shots plumb at 25y at the range. I checked my own rifle the other day at 300y and it tracked right up the plumb line on the levelled target as I adj 'up' elev. Additionally this device I made can be used if a scope is too far forward and you want to loosen screws just a bit and slide the scope back without touching it and putting a cant on it or causing major readjustment. Ive used it on a few friends rifles for that purpose when their scopes were too far foward and it worked great. Good luck getting level. [/QUOTE]
