[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1500909, member: 54178"] Bill123-> "Tank you veddy nice!" Excellent video. I think I'll order the EXD tool. I know I'll use it every time I mount a scope. I also went to Youtube and watched Part 1 where they used JB Weld and bedded the scope to the bottom rings. Interesting. It's pretty much how you bed a Pic rail to the receiver to be sure it's perfectly flat. BTW, This tool is making the RETICLE vertical but you have to shoot a "tall target" sequence every 3.5 vertical inches (for mil clicks) at 100 yards [I]to see if the vertical turret moves perfectly vertically. [/I]Sometimes reticles are installed just barely off vertical and this cannot be detected unless you do this test. Use a 4 ft. heavy cardboard backer with a 4 ft. paper target marked properly with a vertical center line and 3.5 inch horizontal lines (about 3 inches long). Be SURE the target is posted perfectly vertically. Use a plumb bob! If it looks like your ascending groups are veering right or left as you shoot at each higher cross mark then your reticle is likely off vertical. Repeat the test two more times. If you get the same veering results send in the paper targets with the bad scope to the manufacturer and pray they will send back a good scope. Of course you will need to test the new scope as well.
