[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 369050, member: 5418"] Woods, that's an intersting looking idea that I will certainly investigate. Skimbleshanks, I feel your frustration. I too tend to set them up "straight" and then they always look canted afterwards. I had set up my rifle to track properly and recently took the scope off and needed to remount. I got a little level for a builders line and removed it from the casing. I then set up the rifle with non-slip matting in a shooting bag (Dog-Gone Good). I levelled the rifle using the receiver. I then straightened the scope - an IOR - using both the big flat in front of the turret and the top of the turret without the cap. These did not tie up and neither looked "right". To be honest, I'm not sure that the reticle is straight in the tube, but I'm not sure, so I'm certainly not knocking an otherwise excellent scope. Mr Holland did an article on reticle perenicularity in the articles section. In my opinion that is the only real way to be sure.... [/QUOTE]
