[QUOTE="George Dean, post: 1784345, member: 102703"] I purchased that tool and found that in my use it seemed imprecise. I prefer to mount my rifle in a vise, ensuring that its receiver is level, both fore and aft + no yaw, then line up my reticles with a plum-bob hanging at a distance. I have an articulating vise which allows me to do that, along with several bubbles from Wheeler. I'm rather anal about this process and double check the receiver against the rail, then the reticle against the plum-bob as I tighten the top of the rings. As far as that tool, a flat piece of steel laid between the receiver and the middle of the scope gives you a Mark 1 eyeball reading as close as the tool. And no shipping costs, just fetch one out of a scrap pile. [/QUOTE]
