[QUOTE="Crowe284, post: 1407524, member: 97064"] I use a really big plumb bob...I run 1/2” rope over a tree limb about 25 feet in the air. I then tie a 15 lb dumbbell too it and suspend about 6” off the ground. I then go back to my shooting bench 150 yds away and sight through the scope with bipod in front of gun and good bag supporting rear. I use the kmw podlock on the Harris bipod to set the gun to level. From here I simply line the vertical on the rope (can see the entire vertical cross hair splitting the rope on 18x), tighten rings very slowly in criss cross pattern and check again when the torque wrench me pops over on all screws. If good, I install a bubble level on my scope tube in front of elevation turret for reference and I’m good to go. This method had been dead nuts every time. [/QUOTE]
