[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1699871, member: 110896"] You're getting a bit of roll when you tighten-down the upper rings. I've had this happen, too. I've wondered if the turret on the top of the scope is perfectly level. All we can do is assume that it is unless we can really see that it's not. I use the Wheeler Engineering Professional Reticle Leveling System-- the same one that's used at the big Scheels in Sparks, NV. If I tighten the ring screws just right in an alternating & opposite sequence, I can usually get the rings tight and not roll the reticle. Usually-- but not every time. If the scope rolls, I have to start over and pre-load a bit of roll into where I set the scope before beginning to tighten the ring screws. It can be very frustrating. The human eye can resolve 1/80 of an inch at 12 inches. It's a good possibility that you'll see your reticle being tilted if it truly is. If it is, you'll see it on your targets... [/QUOTE]
