Being on the forum so long and with the wealth of information I know someone will have an answer. This ought to be pretty straight forward, however I am not certain about the outcome of the process that I am using.
Presently I am using EXD Engineering "One Hole Groups" scope alignment tool from Brownells. Essentially two sliding v-blocks with a level on top. This tool aligns the center line of the scope with the bore of the rifle. I am using a Tipton gun vise that I tape the rifle into once it is leveled. From there I align the scope rings with a piece of green tape that I leveled and put on the garage door about 40 feet away; and that tape is level I checked it twice. Once the cross hairs are aligned I tighten the scope down, and check to make sure everything is aligned. However..............when I shoulder the rifle, I am finding the scope to be crooked. The question is it me holding the rifle improperly or am I missing something with the alignment. I have been thinking about investing in a Wheeler system, however the One Hole Groups system seems to be pretty fool-proof, but..................maybe not as fool proof as I thought! I'd appreciate other's input/opinions.
