This is a question for those that have used bore sighters. Laser or standard.
When you use your bore sighter and if it has a cross hair leveler, does it also level the gun at the same time? My guess is they do not level the firearm, just the scope cross hairs to the target.
So I think another level would be required to level the gun and then use the bore sighter to level the scope. If the bore sighter has a leveler. Is this correct?

Does any one know where to buy levels for a firearm? I looked in Brownells catalog, but I do not see any levels that would work on a firearm. They do have one that attaches to the scope base, but I do not think it will work with a scope attached to the bases.
Any one have other sources to buy levels for guns?
