There are tools that work off the lug raceways inside the actionHere's another question for you more enlightened folks, how are you leveling out a round receiver, no flat top?

For a final test at the range, I do a tall target test!Always use a plumb line for final testing.
The one that I showed comes with a large and small wedge, but not sure will be enough room to use either one.I bought one of these but there wasn't enough room between the picatinny rail and the bottom of the scope so I couldn't use it. I was bummed.

A giant plumb bob!The method @lancetklance mentioned with the playing cards is a great idea, also you can use feeler guages.
I made me a plumb line at the farm, 1" diameter rope and 6" PVC pipe that I found at a roadside construction site that were tossed in a roll off demolition dumpster. The construction manager gave me permission and when I told him what I was doing, he gave me the caps. I filled the pipe with concrete. I found enough to make several water pipes for drainage under the road
Bingo, Savage action. I made mill tooling that references the bolt raceway to go up to 8-40 screws so I know that the holes are now centered and true, but that doesn't mean that the action's OD is actually round or even concentric to the bolt. I debated making a mandrel to hold it by the bolt bore and turning the OD to be concentric and round, but after measuring it I realized that doing that was going to remove too much material.Very true (pardon the pun). One would not expect this from a custom precision build but take something like a Savage 110 for example, where the taps are off (ever so slightly) on that round top receiver. Then, your rail and or rings are off too. No big deal if it's equal front to back but it can be a pain.
I used one such tool for years while working behind the counter. I can not find one and my first effort to make one was a total fail. Picture a strip of Plexiglas bent across the width into an 'L'. Centered in the vertical section was a reference line. Pull the bolt, insert the tool, press down on the tool thru the ejection port with a finger, look thru it and the scope, twist the scope to align it's vertical crosshair with the tool's reference line. Worked like magic and didn't care if you were upside down and twisted sideways while doing it.There are tools that work off the lug raceways inside the action
I'm liking this giant plumb-bob tool. I'll just need to build it so that our granddaughter can use it as a swing.The method @lancetklance mentioned with the playing cards is a great idea, also you can use feeler guages.
