    I have a pretty fool proof way of leveling scopes.. take a straight edge, very rigid one, place edge flat on rail and move scope till it is flat on other edge. This will work with most scopes.

    I install the mounts on the rails, remove caps from rings level the gun in a home made holder. using the scope 1/2 rings as a level point. Install a scope level on the barrel. Install scope in rings using top turret. level the scope with the level that I installed on the barrel. Then I go to the range zero the scope to 100 yards. Fire 3 rounds at a dot at the bottom of the target. then dial 10 MOA up and again fire at the dot using a 24 inch level check to see if its tracking level. This is more confusing to write than to do.

    Makes sense, if its canted at all your windage position would change

    I like Talley mounts and use them as a rifle leveling point. Then I use a string hung from a door opening across the house and level the scope with the reticle.
