[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1891701, member: 107384"] If you use a Pic rail for your scope base there are bubble levels that you can attach direct to the Pic rail. Like this one on eBay. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/NIFpieq.jpg[/IMG] I ended up getting one like this . [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/rcopRpH.jpg[/IMG] I set it close to the power selector ring. Took an empty Kleenex box and cut a couple notches in it. Next I took it outside and set the scope in the notches and turned it until the vertical crosshair was aligned with the straight edge of a building. I could have used a plumbline too. Then I adjusted the level until the bubble was situated between the lines when the vertical crosshair was vertically aligned. So when I go to the range, I'll know when the rifle is not level, because it won't be the scope. The drawback to a lot of the bubble levels is that the bubble doesn't fully fill the space between the lines leaving one to guess when things are actually level. There is at least one Pic rail available with a built in level, but it's hard to see in use so mostly useless IMO. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wXmzffw.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
