[QUOTE="Blkz06, post: 1057885, member: 72789"] I'm lucky enough that I use 20 MOA rails on my guns, so I use a high precision level on top of the rail and lock the gun down in the plumb position. For guns that have scopes that may not have the reticles leveled to the bottom of the scope I use a laser level to align the reticle plumb and level. For scopes that are leveled to the bottom, I use a wedge. I like the design of the RingTrue as far as leveling the rifle/bore, but using it (or any level for that matter) to level the reticle off the turret isn't the best way IMO. Most scopes have turrets that are not truly flat, nor level to the reticle which means the reticle will not be truly level when using the turrets as your ref. point. Nightforce tech told me not to use the turrets, period. Nightforce and Steiner level the reticle to the BOTTOM of the housing, which makes tools like the Spuhr or Arisaka leveling wedges excellent choices if you want to get your reticle leveled quickly and precisely. That method also makes sure you can "climb the ladder" with your shots and turret clicks. [/QUOTE]
