[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1013390, member: 48559"] Short answer: Yes. When I am setting up the scope on a rifle, I use the tool from EXD to ensure the scope is centered above the bore, and the reticle leveled with a plumb line in the distance. While all this is dialed in and fixed in the vise, the scope level is installed and leveled. I prefer an offset, fixed level that I can see with my left eye while my right handles the scope. During each shot set-up it only takes a fraction of a second to glance at the bubble to correct any out of plumb condition. Eyes play tricks, especially when looking across uneven terrain. Bubbles don't lie. Shots launched from out of plumb platforms aren't likely to land where intended if the distance is beyond MPBR. I wonder how often "bad wind call" is blamed for a bad shot which the level might have saved... [/QUOTE]
