[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 439295, member: 3249"] It really needs to be very close. The reason is b/c if it's not your crosshair will not be exactly above the bore. This creates an offset so the bullet is not only rising but it is have to go left or right to intersect the line of site. Once you get past your zero point it will either be progressivly more left or right as your distance increases. I bought a feeler gauge kit and put the right amount under the scope so it just fits. As long as the rifle is tapped right, the base is level and the crosshairs in the scope are level w/the adjustments in the scope, it can't help but be level. Obviously you have to have a one piece base to do this. [/QUOTE]
