[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1817323, member: 105322"] If you have a one piece picatinney or weaver type rail, and a scope with a flat spot on the bottom of the turret housing, you can try this: 1) Take a short stack of business cards or other card board cut to size. 2) Place just a few too many between the flat spot and the rail for the scope to sit flush. 3) Tighten rings to proper torque value. The scope self levels as it compresses the card stock without needing three hands. 4) Remove card stock from between rail and scope and torque once more. You are done. If either the sight base or reticle are too crooked for this to work, then you have more important issues to consider. [/QUOTE]
