[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1674276, member: 9308"] I'm so cheap - just level my gun first in my Frankford Arsenal gun holder using the bubble level on the picatinny/weaver mount. Then I put the scope in the mounts and put the level on the top cap and level the scope. And I do it with a 6" bubble level from Home Depot. But BEFORE I do all that, I put the lower half of the rings on the mount, put the scope in them (very carefully...and stand on a carpeted/padded floor, just in case) and figure out my eye relief. Then I mark that in pencil on the scope tube so I know where to put it when I'm leveling everything. Please keep in mind that I'm probably never going to shoot at game farther than 550 yards away. That's my self-imposed minimum, so my way is surely 'not good enough' for a 1000 yard (or farther) shooter. Here's two good videos that will help you. First is mounting the scope (about 5 min video) the second is leveling your crosshairs (about 1 min video.): [MEDIA=youtube]8rFOtmWqBUI[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]rIjQz6nahrw[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
