[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 748834, member: 39764"] I do it differently and the way I do it, most guys won't be able to, but some will... I use a milling machine table (which is flat and level in both X and Y axis because it's leveled with machinery levels to 0.005"/foot, in conjuction with Setup V blocks to rest the rifle in. I rest the rifle in the V blocks, use a machinist level to level the rifle (across the receiver) to the table and clamp it with hold down clamps and set the scope in the previously lapped and aligned rings and then level the scope itself using a machinists level across the upper turret. before I remove the rifle I add a bubble level to the scope tube and align that. Sounds complicated but it really isn't. Problem is, you need a milling machine or an engine late bed with sufficient length to fit the rifle. For all practical purposes, that puts my reticle cross (can't say cross hairs because most are etched nowdays) marks at true horizontal and 90 degrees. I need a level on each rifle because I have a tendency to twist my rifle to the side when shooting. Must be because I'm polish or something......:D [/QUOTE]
