[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1817808, member: 96316"] I've looked at the Arisaka and Wheeler systems, and it could be that I'm missing something. I cannot see how these levelling systems make sure the vertical reticle line points to bore center. Arisaka sets the bottom of the scope level to the rail. That's all you've done, made the scope bottom level to the rail, if your scope bottom is flat, and if you have a rail. The Wheeler assumes the flat surfaces on your rifle are level to something. That one is too complicated for me to understand. Levelling a scope on a rifle, and levelling a scope to a rail are two completely different things. Do any of these devices prove that the vertical reticle line bisects bore center ? That'll be the one I'm interested in. The EXD Engineering tool takes the bore into account, but still needs one light and a plumbline to check vertical, so if I were to pick a gadget this would be it. [/QUOTE]
