We all need this measurement when using a ballistic calculator. Lots of methods to find this measurement. With all the nifty tools available for shooters and reloaders it is surprising to me that no one has invented a tool to measure this quickly and accurately.
Just thinking about it I was thinking a simple jig could be made to do this. Say a set of mandrels that would fit the bore of.different calibers. Stick your bore guide into your rifle. Pick the mandrel that fits in the bore guide. Mandrel attaches to a caliper type device. The calipers are used to find the center of the eyepiece or ocular lens. A little pointer at the center of the ocular measurement could give you your scope height.
I think it would be more simple to build than explain. I also think it would sell. We love measuring tools.
