[QUOTE="ericbc7, post: 1784289, member: 79488"] The op’s device can work if the erector assembly is mounted true in the scope body - not a given on even $1000+ scopes. A precise way to to level the scope is level the action with rifle in a vice (or similar) and level the crosshairs with a plumb bob or a leveled target a good distance away so even small differences are noticeable. This will work for all scopes including ones with the erectors not perfectly true to the turrets or flats. if you cant your rifle - Adjusting your scope to match your cant will guarantee it will be off at ranges significantly different than the sight in range. It would be better to have the stock adjusted to fit you so it doesn’t cant. Use an anti-cant scope level to check your vertical every time you send a round a long way so you only have to worry about 99 other things . [/QUOTE]
