Why a BR scope level?

[Kittitas George]

I have a decent bubble, I've checked for accuracy, super glued to a piece of key stock, the key stock has a magnet attached. Set this on one of the scope bases or bolt rails. I level the rifle side to side, I've used another small level on the elevation turret cap and also used the Newlon caps with the bubble. I set the scope to level and tighten it down, watching both bubbles. I will then look down range at a string with an attached plum bob, check the scope bubble, check the verticle hair to the string. The bubble on the scope almost keeps me honest, especially if I'm shooting off hand. I think it helps in holding the gun consistantly.

Dont worry about the scope being level for BR shooting purposes. It does need to be level to dial in a yardage but for BR you dont worry about that. If you want it truly level, level the rest, check the gun is level, then hang a weight on a string on your target then level the scope that way. Use gravity to get a true straight line

I have always wondered why the scope and ring manufacturers can't/won't mark top dead center. Seems like a line on the top of the scope would be fairly cheap to do.

Some do this is mine .
