[QUOTE="KS Shooter2021, post: 1977332, member: 112199"] After thinking about this NPA, wouldn’t the best way to set a scope be to shoulder the rifle and have someone else rotate the scope to a plumb line. Then set the rifle on a bench and adjust the rifle so the scope matches the plumb line without touching the scope. Carefully snug the scope up while checking the plumb line, then set the scope level indicator while everything is plumb. Seems to me that the rifle barrel doesn’t really care what orientation it is as long as the scope is held in exactly the same level position each time you shoulder the rifle. Someone else may shoulder the rifle and have to adjust to get it level but you should be able to shoulder the rifle quickly and achieve a natural “level” scope position without having to keep adjusting your hold, well to much anyway. Am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
