All this begs the question. Why do we need to level the scope? A unleveled scope leads to a canted rifle. Then what's wrong with a canted rifle?

Furthermore, all that level and plumb line only ensures the proper setting of the rifle BEFORE the shot is fired. How do we know it is still proper after the trigger is pulled?

Perhaps the ultimate check is what's on the target paper?
