[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2009355, member: 17889"] For what we usually spend on this gun/shooting obsession, $140 is not even a rounding error. Buy once; cry once; be happy ever after. One can replicate this device very easily with minimal skills and tools/equipment one typically has already. Buy a long picatinny rail (pre-drilled for mounting) with suitable flat bottom (maybe $5 at a gun show or clearance table), a length of wide aluminum bar stock (or search the scrap pile at a local machine shop or metal seller......check stock for flatness), a bullseye bubble level or two vial levels, two screw adjustable feet and one button foot. Drill, tap and screw the rail to the base. Drill, tap install the screw adjustable feet and screw/epoxy the button foot beneath the level/s similar to the original Dead level. Afix the level/s to the base with screws or epoxy, per your selected level design, being sure it sits securely flat against the aluminum plate. DONE....for less than $25-50. Or, go together with several friends and share one for real Badger Ordnance Dead Level tool. With enough friends, you could be into one for $10-$20/person. Belong to a gun club......get the officers/board to invest in one for club use. Being friendless is a little more expensive. :) :) :) [/QUOTE]
