Re: Scope levelness????
I had never heard of the feeler gauge method until now. Seems like a good weay to get it close if you have a flat-bottomed scope.
However, keep in mind that any variation of any or all the critical component parts will change the accuracy of the method. Assuming, first of all, that the top of the receiver and the mounting holes are perpendicular to the line of the bore, ALL these parts have to be perfectly parallel with eachother: base to the receiver, scope to the base, and crosshairs within the scope. So, while feeler gauges may be fine for getting you in the ballpark, I would not stop with that.
Consider that a .308 using Federal GM M2 zeroed at 100 yards will be nearly 7" off at 1000 yards if the crosshairs are canted even 1 degree from vertical in relation to the bore. 2 degrees will give you a miss!
