[QUOTE="Matt27, post: 62600, member: 781"] Cobrad I do the same technique like you. I don't like to use the plumb bob because Alot of scope Manufactures have tolerances on their recticles in that when they are mounted level their recticles could be off a couple of degrees. I don't have first hand knowledge except for reading on other boards of guys that have seen this problem. I did a click test on my scopes last night to find actual click values for my scopes and i was curious to see what my tasco varmint scope was like that my wife uses to plink with. Put the scope in the rings and leveled the scope up from the turret and the recticle was canted almost to 1 O'clock. Very distracting but i knew the erector tube was level with the gun. My Nightforce and sightron recticles were fine when i did this test. Would be very wierd to have the turret level and the crosshairs canted and not to cant the gun so the recticle looks level.
