[QUOTE="Gene, post: 926471, member: 7402"] I am in the crooked head group also. Two suggestions: Take your rifle cradle to the range with two levels and a plumb bob. Sit rifle in cradle and hold 6" level perfectly vertical against recoil pad. Move rifle left and right until bubble is level. Now rifle is positioned correctly. Next, place small bubble level on elevation cap. Loosen scope and rotate until it is level. Tighten rings. Now you should be close. Tie plumb bob at 50 yards, check vertical reticule against plumb string (no wind movement) . They should match; if not, start over with scope rotation until they do. You should be good to go at this point. Buy a bubble level made for scope rings; mount and re-check again. On my 3" fore end BR rifles I have a small 1/2" square bubble level glued to a popsickle stick. I hold it on the forend underside while rotating the scope with small level on upper turret. Makes it easy with flat foreend. [/QUOTE]
