[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1700936, member: 110162"] Some rings are much worse than other on pinching the scope tube and rolling the recticle while its tightened. I always get eye relief set on loose rings, then eyeball close to level while tightening the rings EVENLY till I get to the point that there is a fair amount of resistance to turning the scope in the rings. Then I level the scope . Once the scope is level with my pic rail, I tighten the rings in TINY increments , back and forth across the rings. I'm talking maybe 1/16th turn at a time till I'm satisfied with the tension on the rings . I used the feeler gauge trick on my last mount job like Remmy suggested earlier in this tread. I will be using this method from now on when I have a pic rail and a scope with a nice flat at the bottom of the turret housing. I like the mechanical leveling more so than bubble levels. Just seems like a more solid way to measure than those floating bubbles ! Lol [/QUOTE]
