G'day folks,
I'm still in the hunt for a quality anti-cant level that attaches to a picatinny rail.
I have now tried US Optics and a Wheeler and been disappointed with both.
Has anyone tried a Warne scope level? The Uni Skyline that just attaches to the scope.
It has the feature of being able to be pushed in to stow it when not in use but the moveable bits on these levels seem to be the weak points... They just allow play to come in and effect the accuracy of the level.
I really wanted one that went on the rail but this could be an alternative if there no other Picatinny rail mount ones out there that are any good.
How about the Accuracy 1st one? It also attaches to the scope.
Interesting as it is a curved format and uses a ceramic ball instead of an air bubble.
The US Optics would not go to true level when opened, seems to be play in hinge though it attaches firmly to Pic rail.
The Wheeler one {Sorry Alex if it is an invention of yours} is rubbish...!
It is made of aluminium with steel screws that gall when put under load of trying to set up the level.
Very fiddly to try to find the balance between the small leveling screw and the clamping screw.
As the clamping screw is tightened it pulls the level out of level so you then have to go back and adjust the leveling screw and then re-tighten the clamping screw... and so on!
Definitely needs to have been made of steel or at least some T6 instead of the soft Chinese stuff that it is made with.
Use anti-seize for sure if you have one as I nearly wrecked the threads for the leveling screw {galled} and only with patience and lube was I able to back it out and restore the threads.
Also found that the opening and closing was making it read erratically as it just did not seem to properly clamp to the rail and there was some movement up and down which meant that sometimes it was level and then half a bubble off!
My SPUHR mounts have a small level built into the base and that was how I picked up that the Wheeler was off... Also the level on my Rodzilla said the same thing... It agreed with the level in the scope mount.
