[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 954194, member: 34084"] I've compared the Accuracy 1st level (with the ceramic ball and curved vial) side-by-side with conventional bubble levels. I strongly prefer a bubble level for long range shooting, where cant errors of 1-2 degrees can cause a miss. The typical acrylic bubble level has a resolution of about 0.25 degree, while the Accuracy 1st level has a resolution of 1 degree. Stiction sometimes prevents the ceramic ball from moving unless the rifle is tilted 2 degrees or more. I confirmed this for myself. A 1 degree tilt of the rifle caused the bubble to move a noticeable distance, while the ceramic ball didn't move at all. The Accuracy 1st level isn't precise enough for long range shooting, IMHO. The only benefit of the ceramic ball design that I can see is for rapid fire shooting. A bubble often breaks up into smaller bubbles when the gun is fired. It takes a few seconds for a single bubble to reform. For long range precision shooting using a bolt gun, I don't see any benefit to a ceramic ball level. [/QUOTE]
