I use scoplevels.

I bought two sets of those, one 1" and the other 30mm. WHat I like about them is the fact that you can see the level while you are looking down the scope.
Brownells has them and they fold down and fit no problem on the scope.
the tall one in the above post does have the advantage of being really accurate though, a result of being high above the bore/scope.
Care to explain how an angular change measurement gets more accurate when the level is placed on the end of a long stick? A 1 degree rotation is a 1 degree rotation, regardless of how high your level sits above the scope tube.

The same way a ship's movement is more apparent the higher up you go from the center of rotation such as the top of the mast on a sailboat.
A 1 degree difference is a 1 degree difference but there is more movement up high.
I didn't buy it for that reason though and I'd say the difference in accuracy is pretty negligible so yea I know what you are saying.
the same principle as nascar racers use, the closer to the center the shorter the distance travelled. although opposite in this case. think of it in terms of 2 sticks, 1 being 1 foot long the other being 100 feet long, the same 1 degree of movement results in the longer one tralling a much greater distance at the tip, therefore much more sensitive to cant.

Very true, try taking a dump in a sea head in violent storm up on 1 deck as oppose to 3 deck on a destroyerGive a whole new meaning to little brown lake trout

I prefer the style that mounts on a pic. rail. Looking through the scope, I can open my left eye and see if I'm level. This is even easier if you shoot with both eyes open.
