Using the RingTrue tool is a two- step process: 1) Align the RingTrue tool to the barrel and scope objective bell. The double stock tape on the back will hold the tool in place against the objective bell. Rotate the rifle to level the tool. Hold the rifle in that position (any type of vise will do). This first step does not require ultrahigh precision. Errors due to the bore not being perfectly centered in the barrel are negligible. 2) Make sure the ring screws are loose so that the scope rotates easily in the rings. Remove the RingTrue tool and hold it upside down against a flat surface on the turret housing (turret cap, flat side of housing, etc.). Rotate the scope (not the rifle) to level the tool. Then tighten the ring screws. To level the reticle instead of the turret axis, set up a plumb line 50 ft away and look through the scope. You can use a plumb bob or draw a straight line on a sheet of appear and use the RingTrue tool to plumb the line while you attach the sheet to a wall.
