Scope level

[PEP3]

Yes sir, any day that includes an “I was today years old when I learned” a useful thing, it’s a pretty good day.


I think you are describing mechanically centering the reticle in a mirror (where the crosshair and its reflection lie on top of each other).

Elsewhere in this thread a mirror is described for eliminating scope cant by orienting (clocking) the reticle to simultaneously intersect with the objective bell and muzzle.

I was and I couldn’t find any videos of centering the scope for cant with a mirror. I did see a thread on it, gonna check it out now. I always go rogue and level it by eye.

The mirror method you are talking about is to align the reticle with the bore. You use a mirror to bisect the muzzle with the reticle and lock it down. Then you use a plumb bob to align the reticle with gravity and lock the level down.

yes , i was talking about eliminating cant between the scope and center of bore .

Reticle Alignment - High Power Optics

Reticle Alignment Proper reticle alignment is achieved when the projection of the elevation turret axis goes through the center of the rifle bore(see Figure 7). Another way of stating this is that the elevation turret axis must be parallel to a reference line intersecting the scope tube...

Yeah, we are talking about the same thing, I just wanted to make sure that other people are on our wavelength.
