Fancy methods and tools are more of a gimmick than a necessity. Frankly, even leveling the scope is unnecessary except for the longest shots. Even with a leveled scope, it doesn't help unless you shoot with the gun level

Very true Peet. For long range shooting it is a very important thing to have it mounted perfect. I can tell you from expirence-1/16 of level will make about 2 to 3 inches off at 400 yards. Went down that road last summer. Finally got a scope level kit and problem is gone. You can test by shooting 100 yards bullseye then raise turret to 300 yards and shoot. If you find your self shooting off to left or right,scope crosshairs are not level.
