So, for kicks I ordered one of those new send it mv3 levels and mounted it to my spuhr. I then calibrated it with a level crosshair (using vertical and horizontal lines made with a 4ft level). I wanted to see how my vestibular sense compared to what should be the most accurate consumer grade rifle mounted level.
The mv3 has 5 settings:
1 deg
.8 deg
.6 deg
.4 deg
.2 deg
This is the amount of error you have to be inside for the green light. I experimented inside against wall (no horizon or any targets or anything to reference) we well as dry and live fire on targets at distance.
I would cover the level and get setup where the crosshairs “felt” level. I would then uncover the level and see where the lights were.
Thus far these are my results:
1 deg = 100%
.8 deg = 100%
.6 deg = ~ 80-90%
Once I got to the .4 and .2 settings things became much more picky. I will need to continue testing to see if I can use the mv3 to train myself to notice .2-.4 deg of error in my setup.
Currently, I am confident I can easily set up with less than .8 deg of cant error without the use of a level.
I will post more data and some videos as I continue to mess with the level.
