[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1784270, member: 69192"] The best tool that I have ever found and that works perfectly for me is the [I][B]"EXD Engineering Vertical Reticle Instrument"[/B][/I] @ $56.00 from Brownells. I "thought" that I.d done a good job aligning my scopes until I read about this tool on the forum, ended up adjusting my scopes after I bought this tool. I use a vertical line drawn on some masking tape on my garage door in the basement, however a plumb bob could be used in conjunction with the tool. I use a Tipton vise when leveling the scope up, and then I use masking tape to keep the rifle steady while turning the scope level. I really like the idea of the tool in the OP, presently I have been using masking tape around the scope and the stock to hold the scope steady while tightening up the scope ring screws. But.....I have a table saw and lots of scrap wood in the shop. I'm thinking of making a couple of wedges out of some 1 1/2 inch stock and use the wedges to prevent the scope from moving while the scope rings are being tightened.
