[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2012091, member: 93138"] For larger gaps I usually just surface grind a spacer of whatever thickness seems appropriate, and then fine tune with feeler gauges. Probably more easily obtained for most would be some low end gauge blocks. I also do not take the gauges out of their holder, so managing them isn't a deal at all. That said, the Arisaka tool is faster and simpler to use. Unless the scope can rotate in the rings nearly friction free I don't see tightening the rings with a stack of compressible anything underneath being a guarantee that the scope is level. When the cards are more compressible than the amount of friction in the rotation, the scope won't be level. Using paper card stock makes this a pretty sure thing. [/QUOTE]
