[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1784234, member: 93138"] Years ago the shop that I worked in had a simple tool to align scopes. It was an 'L' shaped piece of clear acrylic that had a thin rib molded into the inside face of the short leg. To use it you pulled the bolt out of the action and laid the long leg on the lug raceways. Two fingers pushing down thru the loading port squared it up. Instant vertical reference line that was perpendicular to the raceway surfaces. It was easy to look thru it and twist the scope until the reticle aligned. I have looked and looked and looked for another one and have concluded that I'll have to make it. I have the Wheel leveling tool and like with most of the Wheeler stuff that I own I'm not overly impressed. I'd had my eye on the Arisaka tool for those mounted on a rail and have a 12" long rail section mounted to an aluminum plate so that I can do that work off of the rifle, need to make a move there.
