There is a lot to think about.
But before we even get there, we have thedaunting task of mounting the optic to the rifle.
But its not always that easy.
That small shift may be minimal at 100 yards, but at 1,000 yards it could be very significant.
Before that, though it could even make zeroing the scope a nightmare.
But it doesnt have to be.
By using some items around the house and good ol physics, we can get that thing truly level.
Ive also got a few foolproof tricks to simplify the process here.
Start out with a level surface.
confirm your surface is still level and that you havent messed it up any.
Then its time for the next step.
At this point, you’re free to sit behind your optic and look through it.
This may take a bit of trial and error but it will be set up relatively quickly.
Now you just have to tighten everything down.
That is a method that requires you to not buy anything.
However, there is another easy method to use.
This is used to level it.
There are these little triangular leveling tools made specifically for this.
They come with a base to fit in the grooves of the Picatinny rails on your rifle.
That means it is level.
This method would require you to order something, but its pretty cheap $20 or less.
With this method, there can be some issues that arise based on sizes.
Like how high your scope sits in the rings and things like that.
So, if your scope sits pretty low or pretty high, this might not be useable for you.
After all, ammunition isnt cheap, so dont be a victim of your gear screwing up your shots.
This will keep you running in circles and scratching your head as to why you arent hitting your targets.
Keep in mind that some rifles may require special techniques due to their unique construction.
