[QUOTE="gilk1, post: 1700664, member: 38214"] I usually set the scope on a low-med power get behind the gun far enough to make out the reticle and see the top of the round action or scope rail and square it up as best I can. The important part is adding a permanent scope bubble level and shooting a tall target test. I use string with a weight (heavy bolt or rock) tied on the end as a plumb bob. I first set the scope level by using the plumb line beside the reticle and then shoot a tall target test. I Usually get close enough that I don’t have to adjust the bubble level after this but if I do I’ll reshoot the tall target until both poi’s are along the plumb line. This is a great time to calibrate the clicks on your scope too. Don’t waste ammo! [/QUOTE]
