[QUOTE="woods, post: 1451003, member: 6042"] IMO there are 4 things that need to be done, 3 at the same time and 1 during shooting 1. Align the bore of the scope vertically with the bore of the barrel (take all the cant out) 2. Level the scope crosshairs while #1 still in effect 3. Install a ScopLevel or other level device while #1 & #2 in effect and going forward 4. Use the level while shooting to continue to remove all the cant out of the rifle For #1 I use an EXD Device from Brownells [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/zLjlHo5l.jpg[/IMG] It is well made and checked out level with one of my carpenters levels [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/FwXTSvZl.jpg[/IMG] You put your gun in a vise and the upper V fits over the scope barrel and the lower V fits over your barrel [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/mqC27bxl.jpg[/IMG] While the gun is in the vise I aim it out my door to a 4' level about 30 yards out in the yard on a fence and use that to level the horizontal reticle during this process. So the reticle is level and the EXD is level meaning that the gun has no cant, time to install the ScopLevel The ScopLevel is nice cause you fold it down out of the way when not needed [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/p4qjuTVl.jpg[/IMG] Sounds complicated but really not [/QUOTE]
