[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 1784359, member: 21361"] This works for me and I know it is accurate for alignment because I have an 800 yard rifle range and with no wind my impacts are correct, R_L at both 200 and also 800 yards. I use Brian Litzs' tall target ( 4 feet) and precisely align the vertical target line with my Austrian level at 100 yards. I also make absolutely sure my rifle is in its vertical mode on the bench, then align the vertical cross hair perfectly perpendicular, The scope level is then mounted properly and it always takes awhile to tighten it down so it matches the vertical crosshair consistently. Shooting confirms whether its perfect or not. I assume some reading this think this is a lot of work for relatively little gain. If you do any consistent long range shooting you KNOW that this subtle attention to detail is absolutely necessary. When getting down to shoot prone, its such a confidence builder when glancing at the scope level to align it properly before sighting and squeezing. Time spent in doing this adds confidence when you go to take a long shot. You concentrate on the distance, the wind and know your rifle is in the correct position so that the reticle placement on the target is correct, not correct, you hope! [/QUOTE]
