See Poll.

The question is,

When you mount a scope without a leveling system / bubble gizmo, how good are you? Not as good, equally as good, or better, do you believe?

to clarify, the question is not you versus a professional gunsmith with a leveling system - the question is you without a leveling gizmo, versus you WITH a leveling gizmo.

Just how good can "eyeballing" be, with practice. My hunch is pretty darned good, but maybe I'm all wet on that.

I'm addressing strictly the "how level?" question - not any other aspects of your skill in scope mounting.
