Scope installation - Is this correct?

[CandG]

Also, I can shoot fine without having a bubble level on my scope when I am shooting. Some people love those things.

We need to zero back in on the topic at hand.

I believe the Calguns community can trouble shoot this situation.

Looks like your just not on the "level" ~ )

For those wondering what he or I might be talking about, here is another one on my systems (they look similar), you can see the level is not deployed.. and can not be seen when on the gun. As I alluded to earlier, their best use is as a aid to occasionally insure the holds are good (a training tool).. And work exceptionally well when "training" on barricades that force out of position or in ELR were the mirage is so bad horizontal/vertical references are not good. But I do agree, they are not good to use in every situation or to become dependent on.

Haha. You guys are full of fail.

OP, sounds like you got it. Let us know how she shoots. Don't forget to post pics of your target.

Not full of fail. Full of proven facts. I shoot with my scope leveled to the fall of gravity and the rifle canted. Its just how I fit behind the rifle.

Consider also, before you start leveling and making it plumb - make sure you have the scope mounted for the proper eye relief first (forward/back position). When you shoot prone, you'll find your head tends to be a bit further forward. Some scopes are more forgiving than others in this regards. It looks like in the pictures you don't have a lot of room to work with, but even a small change can make a big difference.

I was wondering if someone would mention this. For me, I'll establish a good, comfortable, and easily repeatable cheek weld and then adjust the scope for proper relief from there. You want to easily and naturally bring the rifle up to shooting position and have everything just fall into place.

Thankfully we have realigned with the OPs topic.
