NEED ADVICE on choice of scope leveler and anti-cant device for 10/22

[Goofycat]

I am using a Clark Special 10/22 with a .920 SS barrel and a Simmons Classic Whitetail 6x20 classic scope for ground squirrels. I would like to check for proper scope levelling, using either an instrument that is easy to use, or Kentucky windage method that will work reasonably well. After the scope is level, I would like to mount an anti-cant leveler on the rifle.

I know that all my shots are usually within 50-100 yards, so (1) do I really need to go to the trouble to level the scope, other than "eyeballing" it for maximum level, and (2) since the shots are relatively short, would an anti-cant device be worth considering? If the answer is yes to either question, what method/device would you recommend, or should I just eyeball the scope for level and just shoot it like I have been doing?

Thanks,

Barry

Barry,
You already said it. Not worth it. If you zero at 40,50,or 60 yards the distance to 100 yards will not be noticeable if you do a reasonable effort to make your cross hairs level.
It's a whole different story if you zero at 100 yards but shoot targets or varmints at 500-1000 yards with a capable cartridge.

Thanks, Hotshot. I kind of thought this might be the case. My rimfire shoots dime-sized patterns at 50 yards, but not having any way to know if the scope is perfectly level or not having used an anti-cant device, I have had no way of knowing if those devices would really make it worth my while to purchase them. I won't buy anything unless another member says that there will be a real improvement.
