As I said earlier, Springfield has already made a scope with a level in it. It works wonderfully. Have no idea why they quit making it.

I suggested decades ago to several top scope makers to put a small spirit level inside the scope at the bottom of and behind the reticle cell so it could be seen and centered on the vertical reticle at its bottom. Even submitted a simple drawing showing its design.
We have two KonusPro M-30's that have an internal bubble level just like this ^^
Beyond me, why lower/intermediate "level" scopes like this have them, and absolutely none of the top-tier scopes, do?

I use the Wheeler level that flips out http://www.amazon.com/Wheeler-Anti-C.../dp/B008YLR34S . It is very easy to see . If you have a scope with large eye relief . It sticks out far enough to see with the eye you're using to look down the scope . It then flips back down when cased .
