Thread: Reticle Leveling

In the past I've always just chucked it on and eye balled it, but would like things lined up properly from now on.

Fair enough, the edge of the ply wood target board I use to sight in is fixed so it is perfectly plumb. I level my rifle and then adjust the scope to match the target board. A fence post or something driven in the the ground plumb would do the same thing for you if it makes it easier.

I'm happy for now. Might have to try it with my other rifles and see what happens
