[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2508069, member: 17889"] I usually use the Deadlevel by Badger Ordnance and string plumb bob/flashlight to level scope to mounts before moving to rifle. Only use picatinny rail mounts. Also have 289-100-000WB VERTICAL RETICLE INSTRUMENT [I]Mfr Part: VR3 from Brownells to level reticle, from earlier gunsmithing days. [/I]Often, using a padded machinists vise on vertical mill, dial indicate the rifle pic rail prior to mounting zeroed scope/mount to rail. Yeah, overkill, but dead nuts, no questions, no iffy/maybes. Optically use TargetsUSA.com fixture for tall target precision, repeatability tracking confirmation at precise tape measured 100yds. Optical tracking avoids shooter/ammo inconsistencies/recoil management/Sd/Es/wind yada. yada. Have tested bubble levels from most manufacturers finding very often off by up to 3 degrees.....garbage in, garbage out. Use precision machinists levels...Starrett mostly......for leveling, even with Deadlevel and TargetUSA fixtures (out of stock...permanently???)........can take the engineer out of engineering; can't take the engineering out of an engineer. Most inexpensive scope level allowing good precision is a sting plum bob and flashlight through scope.
