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!

Very nice !!
What bi-pod are you using?
Having never used quick detach scope mounts ... once removed and reinstalled does the scope hold its 'sighted in position' like expected to?

I have a 30-06 that have flip over scope rings. You can flip them off to one side to use the iron sights. I think its made by weaver. Problem was every time you flipped over the scope then put it back you had to figure out where you shooting all over again. Design was good, execution was not so good.

Quick release would be good if the tolerances are very good....I like the idea. Cool bud

So what are you using the green Tupper hammer for?
Oh I know, you needed a flashlight...

nothing wrong with a gun that will melt at a low heat point

Bipod is a good old Harris. The quick release rings are not my choice but, it’s all I had in “low” rings laying around. I don’t plan on removing the scope since this is a dedicated long range rig. Eventually I will purchase non release rings and replace these.

Can repeatable zero be achieved with quick release mounts? Sure. Does it usually happen? Doubt it.?
