Here's a step-by-step that I wrote up a few weeks ago.

How important is perfect level your scope to your gun?

I see people attaching bubble levels and whatnot on there guns and scopes trying to get perfect level. How would you know your gun is even level? Since most guns aren't flat on top how would attaching a level on the barrel you know its even level. So when I install my scope. I hold the gun to...

The number of steps will initially make it seem more complicated than it actually is, but don't hesitate to ask questions if something isn't quite clear.

Your instructions are clear and this will align the reticle with the muzzle. But does this ensure that the scope tube is also aligned with the bore? If the bore is angled slightly differently from the scope tube, won't shots at various distances shift left-right of the vertical reticle? Is there a way to check and fix any bore-scope tube misalignment without shooting?

No, but the scope tube does not need to be precisely aligned with the bore. The erector tube does, since it is the thing we are looking through to aim.

In other words, if we didn't have a floating erector tube inside the scope body, and the ability to manipulate it via the turrets, we would need to be concerned with precisely aligning the scope tube with the bore.
