Dude.... Wtf.... All these years I've just looked through the scope and it's NEVER occurred to me that you could use a flashlight to turn the reticle picture into almost like a projector on the wall. Simple yet brilliant... Thank you good sir!

I align my reticles using a plumb line as well, though it never occurred to me to use a torch to show the reticle on a background. I've always just looked through the scope. Learn something new and useful everyday. Thanks!

Almost done. Now once everything is centered spin your elevation up and down to make sure the internals are aligned with the reticle. Windage is a bit trickier. Using a squared line on paper works. Having a true horizon is even better.

The BEST! video about scope leveling on KZread.

AAAAAAAHHHHHH ..... WTF ..... why didn't I think of this. You the master dude! You king of scopes😁

Thanks Danny , absolutely fantastic tip.

Simple and elegant. Nice!

Hi Danny, i learnt this many years ago at an air rifle club, one tip for your viewers though, spirit levels can be way off ! to test a level put it on a flat surface and note the edge of the actual bubble then spin the level around and the edge of the bubble should be in exactly the same place....cheap levels tend to be way off i just bought ten cheap plastic bubbles (just the bubbles without the frame for this very purpose and only 1 was accurate..........just a wee tip

So easy & straightforward but I would never have thought of doing it. Thanks Danny

That was brilliant.....Thanks mate

Very clever trick, ive been HFT shooting for 10 years and this is the first time ive seen anything like this. My one criticism would be the stock is not the best place to take a level reading, I like to level from the breech area or the top of the scope rail. Thanks for showing me something new.

i had previously adjusted stock and action so they were square. I added the caption about the clip on bubbles for this reason. thankyou for watching tho. and thankyou for the feedback

I just heard of this. Thank you for sharing .

Danny does things smartly.

Thanks , great trick , thanks again for sharing this

By beginning with a spirit level on the gun to level the gun itself, this flashlight approach will produce a proper reticle-to-bore alignment if and only if both the gun and the scope rings are mechanically perfect across about a half dozen potential sources of error. In other words, in most cases it will likely be better than eyeballing it but don't trust it to yield near-perfect alignment.

Well done. Migrate to America. Im sure you shoot as well as you level scopes. We could use ya coming up here before too long, more likely. Love from Texas & Arizona. Thanks for making me a little more lethal, without needing anything fancy.

If your vertical reticle stadia line doesn’t pass through the center of the rifle bore it’s kind of a waste of time isn’t it. Otherwise you’re just guessing that barrel bore, gravity and reticle are aligned.

🤯

Excellent BUT i guess we had to guess that you directed the torch/flashlight through the scope - I missed if you showed that or explained it

very good idea 💡, simple to implement, a question: how far do you place the scope from the sheet on the wall?. Thank you

You are assuming that where you placed the level is perfectly the same as the bore??

Buy a Spuhr mount and the scope is leveled without adjusting. That’s the perfect and easiest way.

How do you accomplish this if your receiver doesn't have a flat spot for the spirit level? Most of my rifles do but some do not.
