[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 234909, member: 376"] Something else to ponder... the relative accuracy or sensitivity of your spirit level device. Ever seen it actually stated anywhere? I haven't. A while back I got tired of trying to balance a big honkin' (relatively speaking) 6" torpedo level when leveling things... leveling the receiver, then the scope to the receiver, then the anti-cant device to the scope & the receiver. I tried several smaller devices, but they seemed awful... sluggish. I picked up a pair of Starrett 4" machinist levels - not cheap at just under $90 each. Use 'em to level the front sight against the rear sight on my iron sight Prone gun, among other things. These things go absolutely nuts at the slightest touch, compared to a ScopeLevel or ACD. Turns out the hash marks on the tube are about 80-90 seconds per graduation... or about 0.022-0.025 degrees. Makes me wonder just what the ratings are on the levels used in our spirit levels?
