Scope test stand

I'm going to have a test stand made to check rifle scopes for click adjustments, repeatability and reticle to turret alignment.

Before I go reinventing the wheel.

Does anyone have photos of such a fixture?
 
Use to be a Scope checker . Mounted 2 scopes , one known good testing the questionable one .
It would test under actual conditions, recoil .

I am not sure of how you want to check the scope. I suppose that there would be many ways to do this. I have wanted to make a bracket, let's call it a scope mount and rings setup of sorts so that I could place two scopes side to side on a tripod and compare resolutuon, quality, etc. I have never gotten to it. I am familiar with the device mentioned already. That one, I believe, lets you mount two scopes on a rifle and check them mechanically. I want them mounted off of a rifle to make optical comparisons.

Keep us posted if you make it.

Instead of taking the scope off of my rifles, I've got a Hyskore rifle vise that I can mount my rifle in with the scope on it so I can do a tall target test that way. There are some that take some heavy piece of metal like an I beam and mount a scope rail to them to test however you still need a way to level the I beam.
