[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2486552, member: 118816"] Well there are many different ways to level a scope, some work some don't. Personally I always use the non laser grid to check the actual relation between the scope reticle and true vertical. I have found that it works just as good as the plumb bob. Leveling off of the turret gets one [B]close[/B] relative to fine tuning. The truth comes out when using an adjustable turret and cranking it up and watching the bullet hits rise exactly vertical to the hits in the initial zero setting. For non adjustable scopes it is not as critical as the zero once established is not moved. In any installation if the rifle is not level everything else is a moot point. As a parting note, if the shooter using a scope is not familiar enough to know what Parallax does when sighting it doesn't really matter very much. Ask the average hunter what parallax is and you get a dumb look in reply. Ask a competitive or true long range shooter/hunter the same question and one can carry on a long conversation. [/QUOTE]
