[QUOTE="wyoming, post: 167209, member: 9158"] On my model 70 I took the action out of the stock and laid the barrel and action on a block of wood on a table [one block under the end of the barrel and the other under the mag well]. I'm counting that the mag well is machined true [the spot right behind the recoil lug looks like it would work too]. I tried to keep the barreled action fairly level. One block will need to be taller than the other, obviously. I purchased a small bubble level at a hardware store and laid the tiny level on the block of wood beside the action. I then shimmed the block up on the side it required to level up the action. I had the rifle pointed down a long hallway where I had taped up a large piece of paper which I had drawn a heavy dark and level line on. Level your crosshairs on the line making sure your action is still level. Tighten rings and making sure everything jives with your level and the level line. That's how I did it on my winchester.
