How level is level?

I?ve always used the plumb bob method.

More like Delfuego. Never tried the projector method like Not_A_Llama.

This is where the Spuhr leveling tool shines. You can level an optic while your bouncing down a dirt road in the back of a truck.

Well that sounds like a lot of fun.

I used Tim K?s dial for elevation method and it worked out both ways actually. Rail was level to the gun, reticle was too. I put a Vortex bubble on the scope and shot it.
Hung a string from the top target and it was dead nuts with the level.
My eyes or my brain must be wonky.
5 shots in the little dot then 3 Mils up and 4 shots at the same dot. The left shot was pulled.

I have used both the Spuhr and Arisaka Defense leveling tools. As Bert said, mechanical leveling is where its at. This takes all the guess work and worry about the scope moving while you are tightening down the ring screws.
