So I have a nice Savage build (yeah, I know it's on the junk end but it's nice for my pay grade!), it shoots really well (I need more practice, of course).

I've noticed that when I'm out in the field, hitting a steel plate 550 yards away, uneven ground and uneven ground at target, that I've missed and I think it's cause I wasn't level with the ground one shot to another. The 300 Win Mag tends to push the rifle around so I'm finding it hard to be consistent shot to shot.

I was wondering if anyone had one of those scope bubble levels, I think that would help out a lot when I'm shooting on uneven ground and uneven target ground. Any store stock them for a 30mm tube?

Rifle pic related, that's usually how it's set up

I bought one on Thursday from International Shooting Supply, Surrey B.C.
I'll try to get a pic up soon. I paid $45, and I think they have 6 on the shelf.

add.. I bought the same as Moose308

They work quite well, and being offset you can open your squinty eye to confirm you are level without moving your aiming eye off the cross hairs.

$28.95 from Brownells.
 
That will likely work fine. Simple to install (since it clamps onto your pic rail directly). I didn't order that one as I was concerned about something sticking out the side of my gun. That didn't appeal to me. But it might not be too noticeable.

It's not a rifle I'll be hiking with in the brush so I don't mind it having a couple bits that stick out. Technically I do hike around with it but that's just to get to the shooting spot, I don't think I'd carry the 15 pound rifle more than that.

Anyhow thanks for your suggestions, everyone!
