Scope leveling - Is this close enough?

Level the gun from the receivers top rail or the scope mount rail. Then hang a plumb bob on a wall. Insert flashlight into occular lense. Turn down room lights and this will project reticle onto the wall. Use the parallax and magnification adjustment to focus reticle on wall. Once level lock down scope and install scope level.
Nice. I’m gonna have to try that one.

Will run a tracking test with reference frozen scope on my dual scope checker rail afterwards to see if using that leveling method runs the reticle as true as what I normally do.
 
I use a 4 ft. level to draw a line @ 3 ft. tall on my target @ 100 yds. Make sure the rifle is level and rotate scope til vertical cross hair lines up with the target line. Torque screws and mount the scope level if applicable.
