[QUOTE="CBS, post: 1012688, member: 11718"] I have been in your shoes and it took real life experience to change my mind. two things I think you may reevaluate: 1- your eyes are not as good at determining level as you think. I was in your shoes a few years ago and thought my buddy was wasteful in buying a level. On a hunting trip i grabbed his rifle to take a shot at a distant rock. I Have always thought I had a keen eye for "level". at 750 yds I leveled the rifle on very uneven ground at a target that was on a sloping hill. I then checked his level fully expecting it to confirm that I was a master of "level".......I am now aware that I am just like everyone else and and do not have any super human ability to determine "level" in hunting situations and have installed levels in almost every rifle i own. 2- spin drift is not having as much affect on your shots as you think at those ranges. If you are experiencing "spin drift" under 750 yds you are misreading the target. It is cant that is the culprit. [/QUOTE]
