[QUOTE="Hoofprint, post: 508204, member: 32517"] This is an interesting discussion. I have always just "eyeballed" the rifle/mounts level & sighted on a distant vertial pole, side of a building, etc. But recently I did this as usual, & my son thought I had aligned the reticle at a slight angle. He is left-handed, so I thought he must just be holding the rifle up differently to me. But when I took it out to the range, I could clearly see that it was a few degrees out. So next time I will put a spirit level on the mounts with the rifle in my gun vise & hang up a plumb bob 30 yards or so away. I think that will be an improvement on "eyeballing" which let me down this time, and it also will be cheap! (like me perhaps!) :) [/QUOTE]
