OK... this is kinda nerdy, but I wanted to bounce my perception of how scope leveling applies. Let me try to explain this.
1. I have a .308 rifle, with a one piece mount, optic, and scope level mounted on the scope.
2. I have run the tall target test on this setup, 5 shot groups at zero, 5 mils, 10 mils, 15 mils and, when my scope is level and reticle are level, to a leveled target, everything tracks precisely.
Say I want to move this scope mount between guns and, obviously, re-zero the scope. If the one pice optic, mount and scope level is all setup and validated, it's irrelevant if the gun it's mounted on is a bit off-level because gravity will always pull in a level direction consistent with the optic, and the optic being 'level' is what is more important than the bore being level?
I hope this make sense and thank for your feedback.
