I wanted to share this method I just read about for aligning your vertical crosshairs. Hang a weight off of a rope about a hundred yards away. It will be straight up and down, so with a level on the rifle you can rotate your scope to match. Bingo. Think this will be how I do it.

Thanks for the tip RR, I'll be giving it a shot. I know I'm not level because I just eyeballed my mounting, but as I'm going to try and get into more long range stuff at 500 and beyond, I now know I need to sweat the small stuff when it comes asking the most out of a rifle. I saw a pic of a gun, and the scope had levels mounted on it for shooting. Do you keep a level mounted on your gun while using it?

On my varmint rigs where I realistically have the possibility of 300 yd + shot I have levels mounted on the scope tubes. For my hunting rifles my self imposed limit is around 300 yds so I don't feel it necessary.

RR,

Does the B-Square level need an actual slot or can it attach without one as long as you have a weaver base with some room behind the ring?

Thanks

Tom

I'll be getting one of those for sure!

yes canting either way could throw off your shot due to the bore's being installed with a slight up angle to give your gun a firing arc. this is only an issue at LONG ranges though.

Also some times you can throw your self off by holding the gun off level also, again it really only applies to 1k meter shooters though. Even then its only a matter of inches.

Just FYI IMO
