[QUOTE="woods, post: 331152, member: 6042"] There is a tool called the EXD Device [url=http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=6097/Product/EXD_ENGINEERING_VERTICAL_RETICLE_INSTRUMENT]EXD ENGINEERING : EXD ENGINEERING VERTICAL RETICLE INSTRUMENT - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools[/url] that is well made and mine is dead on as checked by a large level [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/DSCN0486.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/DSCN0485.jpg[/IMG] you put your rifle in a vise and use the EXD to align the bore of the gun with the centerline of the scope. When the EXD shows level then the rifle is uncanted in the vise [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/DSCN0481.jpg[/IMG] aim the rifle out the door or window while in the vise at a distant horizontal or vertical object and rotate the scope until the reticle is level. Carefully lock down the rings while keeping the EXD level and the reticle aligned with the distant object (not as easy as it sounds). This will make the scope reticle level when the rifle is uncanted. The trick is to duplicate this at the bench or in the field. That's where you need an anti-cant device like the ScopLevel [url=http://www.scopelevel.com/content/product_info.asp]Scoplevel Anti Cant Leveling Device[/url] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/scoplevel_side_view.jpg[/IMG] which folds down against the scope when not in use [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/DSCN1214.jpg[/IMG] I have used the level-level-level system by Wheeler Engineering [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/SCOPES/DSCN0404.jpg[/IMG] and found it to be inexact and inaccurate.
