[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2235688, member: 93138"] That level doesn't make any sense to me. An adjustable level (an oxy-moron?) that references what? I'll stick with leveling the raceways and referencing them as my starting level point. I can see how having the scope offset laterally won't make any difference at one particular distance. However, at any other distance you would need to dial in both windage and elevation because the Line of Action (i.e. the line between the bore CL and the scope's CL) is tilted and not co-planar to one of the scope's adjustment axis. So now you're dialing-in windage for both scope offset and for wind. Maybe that's easy enough to do in reality, but it seems to me that it would be a lot less complicated, particularly when in a hurry, if there is no lateral offset in the scope mounts. Leveling the scope on a shouldered rifle will suffer from the same problem. [/QUOTE]
