[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 890771, member: 34084"] For shooting out to 400 yds, reticle alignment is not super critical. You can simply eyeball the reticle alignment by looking into the eyepiece from about a foot away and aligning the reticle with the receiver. Also, the little injection molded plastic levels in the scope installation kits are not very accurate. You should lap them if you want good alignment accuracy. If you want better accuracy for longer shots and the scope reticle isn't properly aligned to the scope turret, then I recommend the following. Plumb the reticle if you're dialing elevation. If you're or holding off elevation instead, then plumb the elevation turret axis. These accuracy measures are pointless unless you use an anti-cant indicator. [/QUOTE]
