[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1700883, member: 78056"] I have a plumb bob on a string that hangs from the center of my 25 and 100 yard target stands. I line my targets up using the string, so I always have my targets aligned. I can line up my crosshairs with other targets and know I'm not canting the rifle while I'm shooting from my bench. I can use the same string to align the crosshairs while installing a scope, too. I can drive a small nail or staple and put a horizontal string up as well. With bolt removed and my eyes closed, I'll line the rifle up to what feels right, then check alignment through the scope & barrel. Usually it's way off the first few times I try it but it gets dialed in eventually. Getting the strings aligned perfectly means the crosshairs will also be perfectly aligned. Once everything is done & torqued down, I'll shoot a box to make sure everything is still right. And once all that is done, disturbing the rings is something I avoid like the plague!
