[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 337548, member: 11717"] Jon , that's a slick little tool and I've see them before. I use a plumb bob on a line and set my rifle and scope up a few yards away to eyeball center of bore and align the windage retcile of the scope on the plumb bob line. Then I do the shooting routine to confirm it. The leupold tool is good but the slightest cant in the tool will lead to down range drifting. That's why I like to confirm with actual shooting. If your groups are tight, the results are relaible. I think the idea fo checking the movement range of the turret against a yardstick is a great idea. If set up at 50 yds, 30 MOA in each direction (60 MOA total) could be confirmed which would be more than enough for an accurate measurement. With a 20 MOA base, I would probaly go 40 up and 20 down. Thanks for the pics and the info. This is a great site :) Mark [/QUOTE]
