[QUOTE="virginiashooter, post: 1700398, member: 22626"] Put the gun in a secure gun vise. Remove the top rings and the scope. Put an accurate machinists level across the bottom ring saddles. Adjust the rifle until it is level and secure it. Replace scope and top rings. Put the level on the top turret. Apply a small amount of non hardening loctite to the screws. Start the screws. Carefully adjust for eye relief. SLOWLY tighten screws in an x pattern, paying close attention to the level until the screws are precisely torqued to spec, and the level is perfectly centered. You scope is now leveled properly, and unless you bend something, it will stay that way. BTW, when adjusting eye relief, wear appropriate clothing for when you anticipate using the gun. [/QUOTE]
