[QUOTE="therifleman556, post: 1462944, member: 101898"] Here's how I did my most recent one. Mounted rifle in cradle, leveled with a machinist's square on the rear of the receiver with bolt removed (on the lug raceways). Used a plumb line 25 feet away to set the vertical stadia. At this point I also had a laser bore sighter set on the plumb line as well. With the rifle still in the cradle, put light torque on the ring screws and rechecked the reticle vs the plumb line. Final torque and rechecked the reticle again. Adjusted the scope elevation to it's limits while watching to make sure it followed the plumb line. This satisfied my OCD for the time being... Ok, somebody burst my bubble... [/QUOTE]
