How important is a bubble level for 600 yard shots? At what range do they really become necessary? Thanks!
So how do you make sure you are level without a level?Being level is Very important, no matter what method you use, I'm not a fan of levels but that's just me

I just look at my reticle, muscle memory I guessSo how do you make sure you are level without a level?
Really,...... I'll just keep guessing,Any time you dial a scope for elevation, you need some way of making sure it's level/plumb. Even at 600, you add in being off level, and maybe missing your wind call a little, it's easily enough to cause a bad hit. Being an accurate long range hunter is all about removing as many variables as possible, using a bubble level is one way to completely remove that particular variable. I don't care how good you think your eye is, or how much "muscle memory" you have, you get into the mountains where nothing is plumb or level, you're just guessing.
This video does a great job of demonstrating why you need one.
