[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 175736, member: 4686"] Here is a trick I used which I found over on snipershide.net. If you don't have a set of automotive feeler guages, run down a buy a set; probably $5-10. The kind that are all connected together at one end. Get you scope in the rings with the top halves on but loose enough you can just turn the scope. Set the guages so their thick enough to just slip between the top of your 1 piece base and the bottom of the turret housing. When you think it's level, see if you can get one more feeler guage into the whole fray to make it thicker and and insure the scope is plumb with the rifle. [/QUOTE]
