Bubble level greatly excellence

Not a level for my "Crosshairs" , per say , so much as a "level" to do a quick check on rifle cant . What bi-pod doesn't have a cant adjustment lever on them to adjust for cant . You call it a trinket , I call it a tool .
 
Dang,was gonna say something stupid like;

So what's the joke? (In the,we're all getting desensitized towards this cluster of the English language?)

Reading the posts and started busting out laughing,those were some good ones.
 
Levels for your rest is a different thing than a level for crosshairs. If youre dialing in for different distances like going from mid to long range theyre handy. If you are at a fixed distance and not moving your scope or have sighter shots available a level is just a trinket
I disagree. Hold a redot canted and see where the dot goes. (Arcs opposite of the cant.)
I was constantly hitting high right with "x" poa, 600yds. Found when i moved from sighter on bottom of berm, right 6' up and 4' over my rifle canted left.
Scope mounted bubble helps me see and not over adjust.
Also when moving benches during matches, has to be done quickly, its really helps. So much going on so quickly.
I like em and I use em.

So, are you saying rifle/crosshairs being canted does not matter short range as long as rifle is tracking consistently?
 
Yet you did you silly man....now you must appease us by bringing us....a SHRUBBERY! Ni....Ni...Ni

"When you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle.
Then....you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!"

When you get sighter shots who cares? Long range, short range, scope set at a 45deg angle- doesnt matter at all as long as youre not clicking the scope expecting it to track. Rests need levels to set them up for tracking purposes, scopes that are not clicking for distance changes without sighter shots do not. But everybody likes gadgets and they definitely do not hurt.
think about your rifle having a scope canted to make the crosshairs an X. Shoot a shot, crank the scope to it, start shooting. Who cares if its level.
 
While there's no "bout-a-doubt it," you can't have cant, scope or rail levels are one of those items that are as useful (as we like to say in Maine) as tits on a bull! :oops: Not to mention it's something else to buy and something else that can come loose, break, and/or go wrong. Save your money (and sanity!), and just make sure the set up and its components (rest, bags, etc.) are square and straight to the rifle, and you're good to go.

Anti-cant devices are very useful at longer ranges off a bipod. All shooting is not done from a bench and rest.

Dusty, I get what you are saying, and no doubt the anti-cant devices are less useful for short to medium range bench rest. All shooting disciplines don’t include sighters, and all do not consist of all shots being taken at the same distance. PRS for example. It’s a lot easier to dope your shots for multiple ranges across 300-1200 yds if your elevation changes are actually vertical.

Thats why i said if youre cranking the scope with no sighter shots (such as prs) youll need one. Any br discipline (1000yds included) gets sighter shots and a canted rifle means nothing unless your scope is not optically centered and shifts cant between sighters and record shots. So we’ll say if youre shooting at a 300yd target and need to dial in to 800yds and get a first round hit you need a level. If you get sighter shots you dont

If your record strings are 20 shots and your rest is settling during that string cant darn sure matters. If you’ve shot off of unimproved firing lines, such as Raton or in the pea gravel at Bayou Rifles, you would see the error in your statement. Certain surfaces can and will allow a rest to shift during a long record string sending a round low and left/right if you miss a cant.
