[QUOTE="SWHandldr, post: 2591510, member: 114858"] Another old Aviator confirming this. Some people have perfect pitch. Most of us don't. Greg (Orkan) may have 'perfect level.' If so he's one of only a few. A variety of leveling tools is available. Pick one or more & use them. Before tightening the ring caps, shine a flashlight through the objective. It'll project an image of the reticle out of the eyepiece. Align the image with a known vertical reference such as a plumb bob and carefully tighten the ring caps. Recheck that the reticle image is still aligned with your reference. Done. All my rifles wear bubble levels, clamped loosely around the scope tube forward of the turrets, before installing the scope. They are tightened after the reticle is trued to vertical as above. [/QUOTE]
