![]() Once the barrel level is leveled, then the red level that will be laying across the scope elevation knob is leveled out. What is the difference between my system and Wheelers Will mine work as well for scope reticle leveling considering this is for shooting at long range accurately. Ill freely admit that Im no expert and most likely overthinking this by a wide margin. But why not I understand that rifle bore axis and the scope reticle must be true to each other for best accuracy. But for the initial scope setup is mine as good as the Wheeler system. I know for all practical purposes ALL the methods listed work fine. Im just trying to determine the best method considering the amount of time that will be expended working up loads. So since nobody thinks my home brew system is off track Ill go with it and verify with a plum bob. Still curious if anyone has used the Wheeler system and liked it. I take a little time to make sure my scope is level but in a match no one has time to look at level on there scope or even level there recticle most of the time. I can see it making a difference if your trying to shoot little groups at 1000. But if the rifles base is off axis with the bore from the factory is when we run into problems. The Wheeler 2 level method eliminates the rifle base mount specifically from being an issue since it aligns two points. If their is a inherent misalignment from the factory in the base mount, rings not perfect etc. Then aligning the two levels will correct for it automatically. Thats why I like the Wheeler method, if Im understanding everything correctly it seems the most error free if the process is followed to align the scope reticle to a T. Ive never used the Wheeler method before and it probably wasnt created by them anyway. Its just something I ran across since Im getting into long range shooting. I have seen optics where the reticle is not aligned with the scope body which makes the leveling system pointless. Way faster and you get the reticle vertical within your natural point of aim rather than with the barrel. Not much point in leveling the reticle to the barrel if you are having to force the rifle in to that same position before you shoot. Make sure line is plumb.
