[QUOTE="backcountryguide, post: 823275, member: 38531"] Guys before anyone nails me on how to use the search trust me I have spent hours trying to figure out the best method and Im still pulling out hair. My 6.5Creedmoore is all finished up and shooting some of the best groups I have ever shot. The scope is a Nightforce sitting in NF rings on top of a properly bedded NF 20moa base. All my rounds are hitting right in no wind conditions except at 100 yards. I can do nothing about getting the base and rings in perfect alignment with the action so Im not going to worry about that. I just want the rounds to impact center in no wind conditions. It is my understanding that if I use a live fire method on a plumb line and dial up and put a scope mounted cant device on after im done that the rifle being absolute true level is a non issue as long as a the cant device is level on the scope after the trueing process on the plumb line. leveling the action and top of the turret cap is not cutting it and that is showing up in my shooting at distance. If my impact is right after I dial up then wich way do I turn the scope tube? Do i chase the impact or go away from it? I have several levels and a RING TRUE Alinment tool that have got me nowhere so I really dont want to spend any more money. I have over 6k in this one already [/QUOTE]
