Wouldn't a flashlight be cheaper?

if you want to hassle with plumbing a line.....putting the rifle in a vice, making sure the rifle is square to the ground... .....go ahead....knock yourself out. the flashlight method really is overcomplicating a simple task...

if you want to level it in the field or at the range or in front tv while Tanny is beating the patriots..........the leveling kit makes quick work of it.

could level 5 scopes in the time it takes to plumb bob 1.


or ya could go with scalarworks mounts that have a leveler already built into the design..

You make it too complicated.

1. Place scope mount on level surface (kitchen/bathroom counter, floor, work bench, etc)
2. Place scope loosely in mounted scope rings
3. Place flashlight behind scope facing front of scope
4. Tape sheet of paper on wall where scope is projecting
5. Use level and pencil to draw level vertical and horizontal lines where scope is projecting
6. Align scope to level lines on paper
7. Tighten

Spend $40 saved on bottle of bourbon to drink while Deshaun Watson channels his inner Manziel.

steps 3..
steps4.
step 5.
step 6.

all unnecessary with leveling kit.

with leveling kit.

1. mount scope onto rifle
2. level with the wedge.
3. tighten.

too much drawing and flashlights and tape and quite frankly bs.

also, the flashlight ghetto way doesn't work with all reticles...

all scope mounts aren't square where they rail up on the bottom.. example would be larue mounts...

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

Whatever floats your boat. It's worked for the few rifles I have. If I did numerous per day/week, then a tool might make sense.

hey anonymous brother....i posted a simple device that makes quick work of leveling a scope.

no one is saying you gotta change your anonymous ghetto method...

gigem

edit...you know you're gonna ask your significant other if you can buy one...ha

I literally use a small level on most of ours. Make sure the gun is level, tighten vise, put level on top of scope, level it, tighten down to spec.

well the wedge just made your profit margin go up. you're welcome.

no need for gun to be level....

I have that exact system in store on the gunsmithing side somewhere... I just like the level better.

Wheeler Engineering makes a kit called the Professional Reticle Leveling Kit. I bought one because it works with any mount or scope design as many times you don't have flat mounts or insufficient clearance to use other kits.
Midway USA has them on sale right now for 39.95. Regular price is 60.00.
I had tried the other methods and kits but would always run in to a set up that they would not work with. This kit truly works with all and is easy to use.

No everyone puts their balls in the engagement ring box. I'm sorry you didn't learn this before it was too late.

Have the wheeler.

This Arisaka kit made it obsolete with majority of flattop mounting systems.

So how do you use it if no flat top mounting system? That is where the Wheeler will still work.

Never used a leveling kit, flash light, flesh light, theodolite, plumb bob, sponge bob, or any other contraption to mount a scope. And always on paper with the first shot. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the use...

This is for leveling the reticle not bore sighting.

The Badger Dead Level is what you all really want.

And before someone else posts it...Go be poor somewhere else.

I have the two bubble levels from the Wheeler scope mount kit (included lapping bars, etc). Super easy to use. And I think you can buy them separately.

correct.

Same

Nothing complicated about mounting a scope. It's not difficult get a rifle level in some sort of vice. The flashlight trick is easy.

But damn. That Arisaka thing is genius. So simple. And its freaking cheap. Its cheaper than most of our flashlights anyway.

Thanks for posting about this. I'm going to order when it gets back in stock.

Back in stock today. I ordered one, free shipping.

If I can help just one..........

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

Just used mine to level a Tikka T3x scope. Makes this process super easy, will zero the rifle tomorrow. I did one other rifle and it worked out fine. Will see it how it goes tomorrow.
