[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1579054, member: 103303"] Yup! Step one: I use the flashlight method, and sight through the muzzle (bolt removed of course). Rotating the scope until the shadow of the reticle bisects the bore, I can now be confident they are COINCIDENT (the scope is directly over the bore). Now I need a datum (usually a tall target installed with a level) to index the scope level. Step two: I hang a tall target plumb, set the rifle on bags, and align the reticle with the tall target. Now I know the scope and bore are coincident with the world, so I can now snug down the scope level. This of course is all meaningless if the scope's reticle and erector system are not aligned. Not all of them get installed perfectly. Shooting the tall target, while mechanically adjusting elevation confirms all is aligned as it should be! [/QUOTE]
