A scope level is an essential component in any precision rifle. Without one, slight changes in the rifles cant will cause horizontal stringing in your groups. The further you shoot the more amplified the stringing will become. The worst part is that this horizontal stringing will cause you to think that there is wind that doesn't exist.
- When handling firearms be sure they are unloaded. - PROVE it safe!
- First, loosely mount the scope level in your desired position. Generally for a right handed shooter the level is on the left side of the scope and for a left handed shooter it is on the right.
- It's important that when the scope level reads level, the reticle is also level. - Place a plumb bob or carpenters level down range and align the vertical cross hair with the plumb line or level.
- Once the reticle is vertical and scope level is reading level, tighten the screws to 8-10 inch pounds.
