[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1121787, member: 85712"] I just went through the pain in the *** of doing this to all my long range rifles. I like a plumb line or plumb-bob method. I have found that levels, even good ones are not as accurate as when you align your reticle with the plumb line after you have your rifle level. The biggest problem I found was that there are really no completely level places to set a level on most rifles. I set a level on my pic. rail but they all had a slight twist to them from the rear to the front. So what do I use? The reads off the front? Back? I just split the difference and place the level in the middle of my rail(chamber) - got it level, locked it in and then put the scope on it and aligned the vertical cross hair to the plumb-line and slowly tightened it up. So to answer your question: YES, it matters... and it matters more the farther you shot. JMO [/QUOTE]
