Dude I forgot about this trick! I appreciate the reminder and the straight to the point video

I have all my bubble levels touch the left line on the levels. This makes it far easier and more consistent rather than having the bubble in the middle.

Just so you understand, what you have described about what you are doing, that is not level. There is a reason why everybody else in the world takes a moment to center the bubble between the two lines. I happen to know what I am talking about since I am a licensed carpenter, so I am grabbing a level more days than not. But if you would like more proof about what is right, please check out any number of KZread videos on how to use a level.

@@bigk4755hey, if you have a level on the scope and the gun and they are both perfectly between the lines, you can intentionally mount the scope ring level to be touching one of the lines and it will not impact the level of the actual gun itself. That’s what this guy was trying to say I’m sure

Very awesome idea to think of a plumb bob, with flashlight.

great video simple and to the point thank you and the plumb bob tip with flash light priceless.... how did you set up the light to have the shadow of your crosshair? what distance to the wall?

@thegeorgiasportsman9570

It was really simple. Just point a flashlight down the scope. You just need enough distance to be able to clearly see the crosshairs projected against the wall. It can be pretty close, maybe 2-5 feet depending on your scope

@@thegeorgiasportsman9570 zero bull shit straight to the point. My style.

As long as the table is level this method seems solid. What about using a scope leveling tool to make sure it is level on the rifle first (so you don't need the plum bob), and then level the rifle-scope assembly using the carpenter's level?

I think I understand what you are saying. The trouble I have is that using this method you end up “chasing the bubbles.” Gravity is a constant and I find using the plum bob is faster and more efficient. Also, when I shoulder the rifle, there is a can’t due to the way the rifle fits in my shoulder. I can account for it using the plumb bob by shouldering the rifle, then rotating the scope so that it is level with the plum bob.

I wish the vortex had a marker in the center. I guess i could put a white dot

I ain't a carpenter but I used your vid with a different similar level with more range simply because...it's easier to see movement when the bubble has a bigger tube to travel in. The vortex bubble I'd be squinting for the line where as a longer level if it looks middle its probably middle because if it was off it would be more obvious cuz of tube length. Same reason they got carpenter levels a yard long. But...you don't need 36 inches of level for wall photos or scopes lol

Hi, what is that small piece of plastic you have clasped onto your piccatiny rail under the scope at 2:40?

Hello, there is no plastic on it. The only thing clamped are the scope rings (obviously) and right behind that is the Vortex level clamp.

High speed is anything but normal .lmao just kidding great vid

Hating the mounting of this bubble. It rotates when you apply torque to the bolt, it pulls one side to another. It, nice and light tho

You didn't show what i wanted to see. Do you pull the level apart to fit around the tube or is there more complicated steps?

@thegeorgiasportsman9570

Hi, You unscrew the single screw on the clamp and then wrap the bubble level around the scope tube. You just have to be careful not to let it slip or it can scratch your scope tube.

👍

It could be usefull to level the table first in order not to adjust the scope in an unbalanced table costellation ;-)

Did I miss something? Don't you have to level the rifle first, then level the scope on the rifle, then set the bubble level to match?

Taking your scope off is a big deal because then you have to re orient the scope both left and right and front and back. Not a problem if you have nothing better to do with your time.

Hello and thanks for watching. I completely disagree that removing a scope is a big deal, though you are certainly not alone in that sentiment. I used to feel the same way but eventually realized zeroing a scope isn’t rocket science, and I wanted to get past the voodoo belief that people have to never touch a scope. At the end of the day, the bullet tells the truth. If you are on target, great; if not, re-evaluate why it is off and then make the necessary corrections. Any long range precision shooter, hunter, Soldier, etc should be comfortable and able to remove their optic for transportation, replace the scope, and verify zero quickly.

But is your rifle level. As your level is on the scope. But you should also have level on rifle to show if rifle and scope are level also

@@treydenfrench7009 If he did as you suggest, then he just un-leveled his scope in relation to the gun in this video. He said he rotated it, and then tightened down the scope which means he changed it in relation to the rifle. I can see how your rifle doesn't really need to be level, though...because it's the scope that matters when you move elevation or adjust for wind. Your gun could be rotated at a 90degree angle to level, and as long as the scope always is level...does your bullet really care which way the trigger is facing? It only cares where that scope was adjusted to & pointing at and how far above your target to drop or sideways for the wind to move it.

​@@treydenfrench7009 No idea how anyone could assume he was leveling the rifle, as he could have easily shown that or mentioned it, but he didn't. Nothing that he showed on the table had anything to do with the rifle being level that I saw. As far as the rifle being level, it's really only that the sight line is directly over the bore. After getting out a rifle and playing around, I see the importance for the level of the rifle for a top mounted scope...but not to do with the scope tracking, but only for the scope height & sight line over bore. Even with no scope adjustments/tracking, that needs to be centered over the bore, in order for the shot line to cross the sight line with only vertical rise & drop, and no horizontal crossing of the path. So with a 45 degree mounted sight, that's still directly over the bore, it can be sighted in with the gun nowhere remotely near level but still works because the sight line is directly over the bore- and so it doesn't care that the trigger is far off to the side. But with a top mounted scope, it won't be directly over the bore if not level. Which means a miss left or right if not shooting at your zero. Tracking vertically and horizontally of the scope doesn't care if it's level with the rifle, only that the scope itself is always level. As long as the scope is level, should move the barrel up/down/left/right the same amount in relation to the reticle. If I set the rifle on its side, and level the scope, then adjusting the scope up 3 mils, should cause the barrel to still shoot exactly 3 mils higher, etc...regardless of the fact the rifle isn't level.
