Anti-cant for davidson rail

Does anyone make an anti-cant level for mounting on a Davidson style base? I've seen them for Weaver and pickatinney rails but nothing for the Davidson.
 
There are several available in Brownells catalog, and I wasted $$ on those that mount on the rail because. . . .they tell you when the rifle is level but not the scope. Both need to be level. Buy a level that mounts around the scope tube. Set your rifle on a solid rest, with a small level on a flat area of the stock or action. Hang a plum bob on a 4' string to a solid horizontal post 50 yards down range. When the vertical reticule is in alignment with the string, carefully tighten the scope rings. Without any movement, set the scope level, and you are GTG.
 
It's not for leveling the scope, that's already done.

Wanted something for setting up the rifle at the bench, been using just a the tube out of a level across the rear bolt raceway but was looking for something a little more permanent. Thought about the scope based level but not to keen on bolting more than scope rings on the scope itself.
 
I have several on Davidson bases. . . pretty sure B-Square makes them. Probably available from Sinclair, Midway, etc. etc. I use them for exactly what you describe.
