Bolt action rifle with unknown item on it?

[Vitorum]

I was browsing pics of rifle stocks and noticed this device located on the scope. I notice that part of it is a scope level, but what is the other part for? Is that how many degrees of angle the scope is at?

Angle cosine indicator probably. Yes, for determining angle.

Is this something one might need when taking long range shots?

If you do not know what it is...you do not need it. They are for calculating adjusted dope for vertically angled shots

Well I figured as much and I didn't know if it was something I should learn how to use considering I'm getting into learning how to improve my shooting skills at longer distances.

I believe that one is made by Horus... and always seemed to resemble a Christmas tree ornament. To me, anyways.

You will only need it if you are going to be shooting up hill or down hill. The level on top is so you don't can't your rifle, which is very important if you shoot long range.
