Do you only have one level? I have a few different types of levels for different types of actions. The one you are showing normally goes on top of a turret—another reason why I use Picatinny rail. I use at least two levels - one for the action and another for the scope.This whole **** thing is round. It seems semi flat where the level is in the picture. Or right behind the action where the bolt handle goes it looks semi flat. How do I level this thing?!
Yup. My bench end is against a wall. I have a level line on the wall. When I use this device, I move the butt end of the rifle close to the wall, turn off the lights and shine a bright flashlight through the objective lens of the scope. It puts a magnified image of the reticle on the wall. Move the image over the level line. You can now get the scope body, bore and reticle all plumb. If I put a scope level on the scope, I level it at this point too.This is your huckleberry........

Yep. Exactly. I have 2 different levels. A weaver and wheeler. Tried em' both, and found they're not near as accurate as my own eyes.I don't use levels . I try to eyeball it until it looks good , then I do a tall target and make it perfect .

Put your rifle securely in a vice. Move as needed in levelling. Lay a 10" piece of machine bar stock, resting a level on top of it, across and off either side of that rear tab on the rear scope ring shown just thin enough to clear the underside of your scope that you're mounting. Level the scope crosshairs using a plumbline on a wall 20 yards out as your scope external surfaces may not be square with the scope internals using a second level on those.This whole **** thing is round.

THIS!!!!!If it is a two lug bolt, get a piece of flat iron about same width as bolt lugs and lay it in where bolt runs. Piece needs to be long enough to stick out rear of action to set level on.
