New method to level a scope????
I’m not sure if this is my creation or if someone else has discovered it before. Anyway, it is an easy way to level the reticle if you have no bubble levels for your action and or scope turret.
While adding two .012 shims to the rear ring of my SS 10×40 on my .257 condor in preparation for ridding a friends farm of a pack of killer yotes who have been killing his animals lately I mounted the scope and before I reached for my bubble levels I noticed that while doing a visual inspection from the muzzle end to see if it was near level to the action…I closed one eye and had a great view of the reticle through the bell! I also noticed that directly behind the reticle was a piece of level trim on a wall. The rifle was at a right angle to this trim on the wall and the surface the rifle was sitting on was also level.
After torquing the rings down I looked through the bell again and the reticle line was “visually” parallel to the piece of trim on the wall. Afterwards I double checked with three bubble levels and it proved to be Level.
Now if anyone has ever done this before let me know, otherwise I want to have it named after me like discovering a star in the heavens, lol.
Merry Christmas and a lead filled New Year!

Now that you have offically invented it, Can I still keep doing it if I keep quiet? 😆
Knife
Merry Christmas to you too! 😎
😆 😆 😆 Bah Humbug! Merry Christmas. I knew I had read that before a few times. We all reinvent the wheel a lot. it’s still cool.
That guy put in there “any thing that will work as a level” to steal the glory…
Thanks for bursting my bubble. And on Christmas morning no less! The level 80 is NO MORE! Can anyone truly invent anything in this day and age 😡 😡 😀
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Technically, mine can still be used in the field in a tactical situation whereas the plumb line can not 😛
So it will be called The Level 80 Method! You can use it in a quick fix (with a bit of assumption involved) Say you have a bubble level on your action. You know she is level. Your hunting or shooting zombies and your scope takes a dump. You reach into your 5 day pack and pull out your trusty back up glass. You set your rifle on a level surface with a level point of reference in the background (say the top of a building or a roof line, etc {again assuming the structure is level}) Level your windage line and your ready to shoot! Oh yeah, and make sure you clear your weapon before looking down the muzzle end 😉
Yes 😆 😆
