[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1784227, member: 60453"] I use the Wheeler bubble level kit. It works quite well for me. I level the rifle in the work mount and then level the scope to the rifle. I do want the scope leveled to the rifle, because I mount Shepherd scopes on my rifles when I can afford them. The vertical reticle needs to be as close to vertical to the bore as possible for the wind wind adjustment to be zeroed at distance. So far, I've been able to hit within the expected (by me) group horizontally out to around 600 yards, which is as far as my range extends. I don't have access to a range that lets me shoot farther than that at this time. The rounds hit within a 6 inch circle of point of aim on a still day, at that distance. They're also within 3 inches of point of aim above or below point of aim, using the 600 yard aim point. I find that having the scope reticle aligned with the rifle helps me level the rifle better.
