[QUOTE="Rubberduck270, post: 3793431, member: 9199"] All a man needs to mount a scope is a level (to level the action), a plumb bob (to level the reticle) and something to point it at to get it close (looking down the barrel to bore site). I've tried upmteen different methods over the years but that's the one I've settled on. You can try to level off the scope turret but rarely is the reticle level with the turret. The only time I level off a turret is on a gun I'm going to crank the turrets on a lot. And on leveling the action, occasionally I've run into a gun that's unbedded in a factory stock that sits crooked in the stock (recoil lug orientation has a lot to do with this) and for everything to line up half way acceptable I've had to level off the bottom of the stock (across the bottom metal). Barrel vise and a brass hammer will take care of a crooked recoil lug though :grin: [/QUOTE]
