[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1700581, member: 93138"] I built a tool very much like that for a whole lot less than that. Bought a long section of pictinney rail and bolted it to a piece of aluminum plate and added a circular bubble level using some VHB, all but the rail from mcmaster.com. The top of the rail is level to the plate within what my digital level can indicate. The plate has three M6 holes tapped in it with simple hex head bolts to level the plate. The shop that I worked in had a very simple tool for aligning the reticles. It was a piece of acrylic cast in an 'L' shape and it had a rib in the vertical face. The horizontal face sat on the bolt raceway and we twisted the scope to align the vertical segments of the reticle with the rib. I'm thinking to make one for myself. Old Weaver rings that hooked on one side and had two screws on the other were the worst for rotating the scope when the screws were tightened. I came to hate whenever we sold them to a cheapskate. I'd have banned them from the shop if it had been my decision. [/QUOTE]
