Bubble level

[Gman]

Who makes the highest quality bubble level that mounts to the picatinny rail?

 

[Diverjeff]

I have 2 of these and are pretty nice(though a little pricey).Also a plus is that they fold out of the way when not in use.

Look for a level that is adjustable. Not all levels are created equal or are assembled level so a way to adjust them is a plus.

If your rail mounted bubble level is "close" and as sensitive as you like it should be fine.
You are going to set the scope reticle to something, why not a rail mounted level.
If the rail mounted level is obviously off, return it.

Want belt plus suspenders?
Set reticle equal rail level, THEN set scope tube mounted level to equal rail level or reticle
(you just set them the same).

Scope move, or tube mounted level move, you can SEE the difference between levels.

MKM has one that mounts to pic rail. I haven't used this, but have several of his other products and they work well.

Thanks for the link. This looks like a decent one for the money. The Flatline Ops that Diverjefff recommended looks nice but I'm not spending $160 for a bubble level.

That's just funny at that price point! Looks very nice though.

When I bought mine a couple years ago I think they were around $120,doubt I'd pay $160 for one now either.

Get the most expensive one. The bubble is much rounder.

I prefer the scope mount one I posted above because it is in line with my eyes. I can look through my scope and see the bubble and retice at the same time. I level my scope to a plumbob and then after it is tightened down I adjust the bubble to the scope reticle when it is lined up with the blumbob string. The flatops level has a micro adjustment allen underneath to do the fine adjustments. It is nearly impossible to do this by adjusting the scope clamp as it will move once cinched down.

I know you said "to the rail" but the Accuracy !st level is excellent at detecting the slightest cant but it goes on the tube. I also think the last one i bought was made cheaper (quality) like everything else.
Good luck

Years ago, I got into a "debate" over bubble levels with the owner of Sniper's Hide. He claimed the USO bubble level was a poor device and wasn't actually level when mounted to the picatinny rail. The fact is, ANY picatinny bubble level you might try may have to be shimmed to have the bubble centered (i.e. level) when the rail is leveled. Once the rail has been leveled and the bubble level installed and shimmed (if necessary) to also be level, the level will work as expected. I have used the USO levels on F-TR rifles for years and they work very well. I recently purchased two new Monstrum flip-out picatinny bubble levels and have no doubt they will work just as well at a far lower cost. In fairness however, I have not actually mounted and used them as yet.

True. Once any of the levels are leveled the performance is about the same. $200 for the fancy adjustable or $20 and a shim for the cheapy. They both indicate level. We all have different wallets and different choices.

I wrote the previous post largely because I have seen images here at AS of multiple flip-out style bubble levels where the bubbles weren't necessarily all perfectly centered in the little observation window when they were lined up side-by-side. I have also seen comments suggesting the manner in which the bubbles move inside the glass tube may be different; i.e. some bubble levels appeared to be less sensitive and required more cant in order to cause the bubble move. I have never observed anything like that with the USO flip-out anti-cant device, and the Monstrum levels also seemed to work pretty well when manipulated in the hand. However, I haven't actually mounted and used them yet. Nonetheless, I think they're going to work every bit as well as the more expensive USO bubble levels.

All levels are not the same or even close. A send it electronic level is 10 times as fast to react. How important is that? You figure it out.... it will tell you things an ordinary level won't begin to comprehend. I've used one for 2 years and there is no comparison anywhere on the planet. Period!
