[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1463203, member: 2736"] I totally agree that there are differences when you use the scope caps. top of mounts or other machined surfaces compared to the action rails. The rails are the most accurate point to level from because they are machined with the receiver level to the rest of the action and perpendicular and parallel to the bore. To assure that your level is correct you can swap ends with it and it should not change (All levels and measuring instruments should be checked periodically to assure you that they are correct) Once you have the rails perfectly level, everything else should be leveled off this. The reason I like the optical level process is that eliminates the error between systems and the eye location error. The more accurate the leveling system, the more accurate the turret changes will be. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
