anti-cant level

The level measures the ANGLE, not the lateral movement. Your sticks both ROTATE the same amount and that is what the level measures, not the lateral movement.

:agree:

1 deg = 1 deg
1 deg at sea level = 1 deg at 10,000 ft

Levels measure angles

rulers measure linear distance.

Here's one I made. I think it cost me less than 2 bucks.

no doubt 1=1...it is the ability to "fine tune" your 1 that is the difference. but i guess if you only shoot under 500 yards it doesn't make a difference.

exactly, that is what i was referring to. Of course 1 degree is one degree. it is the range of movement within that 1 degree that grows the further away the point of measure is from the point of rotation.

And like I said, I already agreed with you, it isn't enough of a difference to really matter.

I'm not advocating the high up level any more than the side one, it just happens to be the one I found at a price I was willing to pay at the time.
 
Have the B-Square one - needed to shim it for it to be level.

Simplest is a popping the level out out of a line level or something similar and epoxy or otherwise fix it in place on the rail - here 2 for 99 cents

lol - I bought one of those princess auto levels to level my rifle while installing my anti-cant device. Oi.

Nope. You can't fool an old surveyor. Sorry to burst your bubble (pardon the pun) but:

1'1" = 1'1"
1'2"= 1'2"
1'3" = 1'3"
and so on...

In gunnut terms 1MOA = 1MOA

1MOA @100yds = 1.04in

1MOA @900yds = 9.36in NOT 1.04"

This is the difference between angular measurement and linear measurement.

edit: If you use high rings on your scope instead of low rings do 1/4MOA clicks become 1/8MOA clicks? No. Same principal applies.

thx guys great plans. zimbu, got a step by step?

You need a ring with enough material on it to mount the level. The angle is 1/8" thick 7075-T6 aluminum angle with the pivot bolt hole reamed .0015" interference and the level hole reamed .0005 interference. I put a swab of 5min epoxy in the hole before inserting the level. The hole through the ring is reamed transition fit so it pivots freely. The upper side is milled off somewhat flat with a file and the lower side is spotfaced so the nut pivots freely.

Alot also depends on what works for the individual.
There are LOTS of options and varied prices, the real trick with these sorts of add ons is to find what works best for you and your pocket book.
 
I believe Nightforce makes a scope mount that incorporate a bubble level on it.
I end up buying the Horus Vision ASLI. It is not that cheap - I think I paid $130 for it but it combines both level and angle indication.
 
One problem I have been experiencing with the levels and ACI is getting far enough away to read them without reading glasses...Keeping the cheekweld is no longer possible.

I might need to get me one of those PDW night sight mounts and mount all that crap as far forward as possible.

I had razor sharp eyesight until I turned 40....So much for that!
 
I have 12 of the scope level's that flip up and can be seen with the shooting eye with an upward glance. They are a necessity for long range accuracy. Accurate simple lifetime warranty. The one on my 22.250 wore the hinge to where it wanted to fold down a little with each shot. I was shooting prairie dogs with some other shooters on the town.One of them noticed this and brought me another one. He was part of the scope level company. Another one of his team was hitting dogs over 50% at 700+ yards with a 222 rem. I learned a lot from them. Come to find out it was their whole company out for 4 days of prairie dog shooting. These guys push the envelope and use what they sell. I have since developed a friendship with them. a serious group of long range prairie dog shooters.
