[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 288903, member: 11717"] That's a good article, and I would use Cam's method first, the shoot the plumb line to confirm the alignment. When mounting the scope I would place the rifle as close to the plumb line as I could and still focus the scope on it. Then look through the bore and align it so it splits the bore as well as you can with your eye. Then adjust the widage knob until the reticle aligns with the plumb bob. This should get you extremely close if not dead on. Not only should this get you perpendicular to the scope but it should also get your windage very close to zero. Just my $.02 -MR [/QUOTE]
