[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 282568, member: 2736"] Again .I am no expert (Just fussy) but to me a level is just not precise enough to measure in thousanths.and thats what it takes for proper allignment. If your talking about scope canting the best way to make sure it is virtical with the bore is to shoot it at 100yrds and then at 600yrds with the same windage hold. If both groups are not on the same virtical line then adjustments must be made.(I use a piece of tape on the scope tube aganst one of the rings and place a pencil mark on the tape that aligns with one of the ring seams for refernce. This will be trial and error untill you can get both groups on the same virtical plane. This is very important when shooting long range. and just because it looks level doesen't mean it is. because of the way you hold the rifle you can unwillingly cant it. A lot of times installing a scope is not a priority. (Like having the guy at Wal-Mart mount it) and it comes back to haunt you because you damage a scope or spend your life chaseing a good zero every time you change elevation. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
