[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1700504, member: 69192"] I align my scopes in the basement with a plumb line that is done with a wide, plumb magic marker line on my garage door. I use a Tipton gun vise/cradle that is on top of my work bench that is level so if I move the Tipton around some on the bench to line up the plumb line I don't lose level of the rifle. Depending on the rifle I will put my scope base/s and scope rings (bottom half) on the rifle. I then level the rifle off of the receiver, and...tape it in place on the Tipton vise so it cannot move. I then put the scope into the bottom rings, and then the top scope rings on and snug the top rings down until I can just move the scope with minimal effort. I move the center of the scope crosshairs until they are centered on my plumb line and then move the verticle crosshairs until they are parallel with the plumb line on the door, and then masking tape the scope to the stock. I always keep checking for the rifle being level throughout this process. I have checked this process with a 100 yard plumb line at the range at my club and have found the crosshairs to be plumb with the plumb line. [/QUOTE]
