Precision Scope Mounting Tool

[Peahi2]

My arisaka scope level kit hasn't been helpful for my last few scope installs. There just wasn't enough room with low scope rings on bolt guns to fit the wedge.

Depends on if you are dialing or holding elevation.
If the reticle is off from level and you are canting the GUN to get the reticle level, dialing elevation will cause your aiming windage to be off by the amount of cant.
If the GUN is canted from the reticle and you hold the elevation using the leveled reticle, your impact windage will be off by the amount of GUN cant.

This is why bubble levels should be calibrated to the levelled GUN, not the reticle.

A quick google search brought this video on the subject from Snipershide. It appears his explanation and test is legitimate:

That's probably with rings mounted directly to a rail or using old school mounts and rings. The gadget probably works best with a one-piece mount that's mounted on a Pic rail. Long range guys are more likely to use those because their scope bells are so big they can't mount extra low anyway.

yeah, my scope is a 5.5-30x56. Its on night force 1" rings on a scope base on a cz 457. It low to the rail, but high due to the base, lol.

For my other guns (ARs), it does work well on my AR mounts for sure.
