[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 881449, member: 39764"] I don't want to sound condescending but, the levels you use probably aren't accurate in the first place. Keep in mind that checking errors are only as good as the initial accuracy of the first measurement and all subsequent measurements will compound by the inaccuracy of that initial measurement. Consequently, I use levels that are accurate to within 0.005" per foot of lineal distance. That ain't a box store, internet gun supply house level. Those are very expensive machinery levelling levels, like 500 bucks each, with precision etched vials and lapped bases. If the indicator bubble(s) are centered, thats good enough for my eyes. ..and yes, all reticles can vary a few degrees from true vertical, thats a result of mass production and human error, no matter how much or little the scope costs.
