[QUOTE="tnwill, post: 792065, member: 5075"] Level is level but unless your verticle cross hair is aligned perpendicular through the center of the bore you will have trouble when you start dialing elevation. Level the scope base and then mount your scope level. Zero your scope at 100 yds. Make a 30" tall target with a line running from top to bottom with an aiming point 2" from the bottom. Set the target up at 100yds with the line plumb. Shoot a group at your aiming point then dial up 24MOA and shoot another group at the same POA. If your group does not print on the verticle line then your scope is not mounted true to the center line of the bore. Did this exact thing last weekend with a buddy's rifle. He leveled the scope base and mounted the scope level. When he dialed 24 MOA, his group was almost 3/4 MOA left of the verticle line. This was on a custom action with a "high end" 20 MOA base. Before mounting a scope, I level my action off of the bolt raceway, not the scope base. [/QUOTE]
