[QUOTE="WiscGunner, post: 1578997, member: 97288"] The level of the rifle matters very little. The consistence of the scope level is what matters. Get the rifle to sit well in your shooting position (likely canted for comfortable fit). Set the scope in the rings and shine a flashlight through to objective lense which will project your reticle onto a wall. Hang a plumb line of some kind on the wall. Align the reticle to the plump line and tighten the rings. Tighten a scope level to the scope with the reticle aligned to the plump line. When you shoot, make sure this level is centered regardless of the cant of the rifle. The only time you need the rifle to be more level than not is if shooting strong side/ weak sides but if only shooting strong side the rifle could be canted 45 degrees and it would'n't matter. In fact your return to level will be much more instinctive if the rifle is NOT level but canted to fit your shoulder/body. It is also important to remember the reticle is the important part to get level and NOT the scope cap or outside of the scope body. [/QUOTE]
