Level the reticle, not the turret.

Yeah I know, just nothing to level it against at the moment.


actually, I did unpack my levels last night, I can sit one on the back fence and shim it until it’s level.

Of a NoNo. Still unpacking and I can’t find my plumb bob or even anything to make one.

I used a bunch of methods over time. Here is the latest. Won’t work in every situation but most times.

Buy one of these, they do what a $3000 level use to cost.

So you were wanting confirmation your half azzed efforts were alright to do. And you didn't get that confirmation, because it isn't the right way to go about the process. Don't get pissed at us for you half azzing something. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

That almost a fair summary. I knew it was wrong, I just didn’t know how far off it potentially would be, so I ask. So half the people didn’t read the post and assumed I was a dumbass, then told me how to do it correctly. Which was pretty evident I already knew how. Although I did learn some new methods from the more constructive responses.

At no point was I looking for confirmation that it was ok, just how bad.
