Today I made sure that my reticle was leveled to the rifle. Hold up...... didn’t I level the scope to the rifle already? Yes, yes I did. BUT, that doesn’t mean the reticle is level with the scope. So, I put a plumb line on a wall and leveled the rifle. With a scope of 8-32x56, there is no way to back up far enough to be able to look through the scope to line up to the plumb line. So, a neat little trick from a forum member (different forum) lets you check it with only a few feet of distance. Basically, you can shine a light backwards through the scope to project the reticle onto the wall where you have your plumb line set up. This will tell you if your reticle is level with the rifle. I was lucky and mine was so, no adjustments necessary. I did have my bubble level off a little bit. Fixed that and now I’m ready to rock!
