    Some manufacturers such as ZCO level their reticle with the bottom of the turret housing.

    Here’s a cheap tool that should get you very close.

     
    This just seems like a more dramatic take on the several wedges that can be bought. Arisaka, Sphur and RRS. Also the wedges, without actually having both, looks like it would be more accurate than what looks more or less like a fork truck jack.
     
    How does this work with one piece rings? I just use the wedge from Spuhr or playing cards. Then verify verify with a plumb line with everything level. Looks like a nice design for 2 piece scope rings though and it’s not expensive.
     
    Will that work for me?

    Ive been using my set of adjustable parallels... or if there's really little clearance, ill use a feeler gauge pack and level the bottom of the erector to the top of the machined scope base. its been perfect every time when compared to a plum bob

    I don’t know about the fix it sticks scope jack but depending on clearance between models of mount and scope, if you could lay the tool flat you can use the little scope leveling wedge to level your scope. I have the Arisaka Scope leveling tool.
     
    I just level my rifle in a vise aimed at a plumb line across the room and then align my crosshairs to the plumb line. People ask why I have a 6 foot level screwed to my shop wall, but my reticles are always true.
