Easy Scope Level Arisaka

I might be too simple/stupid but I've never done more than look through my scope and decide, yup that looks good! But this is something I might actually try. Thanks!!!

Question: Saw a thread on this before and couldn't figure out how it works. Doesn't it depend on the receiver or scope rail? Have had a lot of rifles with bent barrels or the scope rail not being square with the receiver. THX

I think this may work also make 2 wedges that are 90 degree triangles have 1 upside down so the 2 hypotenuses are sliding against each other. The height of the created rectangular shape the 2 wedges should fill in the void in a leveling manner.
its similar to using wedges when your framing a door or window.

Thanks Joe, went to Ebay and got the three piece Arisaka shipped for $35
Will be fun to check the scopes I already have mounted? Unless they don't jive???? LOL
My scope to gun set ups are like playing Musical Chairs.

i still prefer the mirror method for installing and leveling a scope.
only way to be truly sure your vertical crosshair is aligned with the bore.
but thats just me

I have one and it isn't fool proof by any means. It is a great product though! It will get you pretty darn close right off the bat, used in conjunction with a plumb line or mirror you can have a scope ready to go in just a few minutes. I love mine, got it on Amazon for like $25. That was a while back though

For me this thing is Perfect !! I am mounting scopes seems like every other day . This will knock down a lotta time from prepping for a video . I'm doing a video soon about my scope testing fixture from an idea by Dave Cole . I think some of you guys will find it interesting. Seriously this thing is cheaper than a decent set of scope rings ...I'm digging it

Joe - thanks for the video. Would this setup work at all with a typical dovetail-style receiver mount?

I was reading this thread yesterday and getting ready to place my order when I remembered someone had posted about it a while back and mentioned using a feeler gauge instead. Since I already had one, I decided to give that a try. I used the feeler gauge on two different guns, one with a picatinny rail and one a dovetail. It seems to work very well. My feeler gauge was a 32 blade version and was thick enough fill the void between the scope and rail. When I have a larger void I plan to cut some aluminum shims to use with the feeler gauge.

From the manufacturer:
"Use of the Arisaka Optic Leveler makes the assumption that the scope's turret cluster and reticle are aligned, which may not be the case with poor quality scopes."
It also makes the assumption that your barrel is perfectly straight, the bore-line is perfectly straight and centered in the barrel, the dovetail is perfectly centered over the barrel, and the scope mounts are perfectly centered on the dovetail.
That device lines up the bottom of the scope with the top of the receiver/dovetail. For "leveling" the scope to your test bed, it's fine, because you have no bore-line to worry about.
On a lot of my guns, if I relied on that device, the bore-line/reticle vector would end up slightly canted.

This was mentioned in a post a few weeks ago by Bob O about this leveler. In it the mirror method was explained (I can’t remember if it was you, Starling) but it goes like this: you mount the scope facing a mirror, use the shortest parallax and the highest magnification where you can still see the crosshairs and barrel hole. You line up the crosshairs with the center of the scope with the bottom of the reticle through the center of the barrel hole. It works great! After the last post, I’ve gone between my two favorite scopes on my rifle and it’s spot on every time.

Ebay $25 webyshop is the seller in Tex, no waiting for slowboat from china, made in USA, this e-store sells hunting stuff. I usually look at the ebay store to see if it is an Amazon resale store front, but when everything in the store is related to my purchase, it ain't amazon-SPIT SPIT
