[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1178477, member: 90399"] If you have a scope tube mounted bubble level like I suggested you only need to coordinate 2 things; the bubble level and the turrets. To test you will need to actually dial your turrets and see if you're tracking along your verticle plum. Verified with shots. Or if you are holding over using your reticle instead of dialing your turrets the 2 things would be; the bubble level and the reticle. If you have a pic rail mounted bubble level you need to coordinate 3 things, which makes it significantly more difficult to accomplish and troubleshoot. If the level is on the pic rail, your scope also needs to be level with the rifle. Some long range shooters will purposely have their rifle canted because that's the most comfortable to the way they hold it, or maybe the way the stock fits to their shoulders. Even though the rifle is canted when they shoot, their scopes are level because that is what matters for true scope tracking. Another benefit of having the scope tube mounted style of level is it's way easier to move the scope around to a different rifle if desired. Really once the bubble level is accurately secured to the scope; moving the scope to a new rifle has no additional effort involved. The level stays on the scope and everything stays just how you had it set up. Hope that all makes sense. [/QUOTE]
