Finally, a straightforward explanation! Thank you for the precise details.

Rotate the turret 90 degrees, chances are it will not remain level. The mechanics of the turret are not perfectly square with the reticle or base of the scope. In the example shown the top cap is ovate in shape, it is not even flat, the level is resting on one point. Do what you want, I simply hang a plumb line at 25 or 50 yards and align the reticle to it after leveling the rifle, gravity works every time.

The best one to explain is you. Thank you, my friend

Thank you kind sir for this video. I bought the Wheeler level system and used it per your instructions here. I have a FX Crown MK2 GRS and a FX Dreamline Tact Compact, and I had no idea that the scopes were not completely level till I checked them with the Wheeler. I started the process from the beginning and it was very easy to get things right this time. I'm glad I found your video and I'm glad I spent the money for the Wheeler kit. I'm a subscriber. Thanks again.

Fantastic video. Thanks!

There's a really simple and very accurate method. Loosely mount the scope, get a rectangular brass bar, mines about 1"X 0.25". Put it at right angles between the pic rail and the flat section underneath the scope where the turrets are, rotate the bar along its long axis so that it touches and fills the gap between scope and pic rail and check for gaps. If the scope is just loose then it usually takes just a gentle twist of the scope to ensure its all aligned. Simples.
