[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 1973632, member: 87188"] Best as humanly possible, I use an “accurate” trim carpenter’s pocket level on the bottom of the forearm, top of the receiver, and the elv turret cap with scope on the rifle and loosely held by rings while rifle is clamped in position. I use a micrometer and straight edge to align mounts with receiver. Then like you, I use a plumb line to confirm vertical. I use a brass plumb bob. You can easily get a large enough and/or colorful enough line to see it. Aside from that, I read another post in LRH where the poster used the plumb line on a wall with a light shining through the scope to cast the reticle shadow onto the wall. Haven’t tried this yet but seems like it might work. [/QUOTE]
