[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2408296, member: 10291"] Visually, it does look like the scope base mount may be off excessively, and may need to be addressed. It is common with various chassis’s for the chassis level to be slightly off compared to a rail level. The method I use is to give priority to the chassis level. I will then use Vertical Alignment Tool(Brownells) to center the scope over the bore, Then, plumb the reticle either by rear projection/plumb line, scope turret top, etc. When mounting this way any misalignment with the action rail is barely noticeable and the rifle shoots true. With the rifle shown, the chassis levels bubble was centered in an index line when the action was level. Used the above procedure and the rifle was visually good, as was the site alignment using the cassis level.
