[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1053020, member: 41122"] Thats not a stupid question at all. First you dont want to put a level on a scope thats not leveled with the rifles bore. If you do it may bring consistency to you shooting but it will also guarantee an amount horizontal drift as range increases thats is difficult to predict. When you mount a scope you want the verticle part of the reticle to theoretically travel down through the center of the bore of the barrel. When this condition exist and the scope level indicates the reticle is plumb, then the reticle will always travel directly parallel and perpindicular to the centerline of the barrel bore. There are tools to achieve this during mounting and test to verify it is set up correctly. [/QUOTE]
