How do I make sure my aimpoint M2 is level? It's on a Larue LT-129 mount.

Nope. Since the reticle is symmetric (has no orientation) and nobody dials elevation with knobs on an Aimpoint, it makes absolutely no difference.Where the issue becomes critical is when you want long range accuracy
Nope. As long as you look through the rear of the Aimpoint, the orientation does not matter at all. You could mount it upside down. Sighting it in the first time may be more complicated, like I said originally, but other than that the Aimpoint has no concept of "up/down" or "left/right".mount the adjustment knobs at 45 degrees to vertical, then always hold the rifle at 45 degrees, so the turrets are level and square. That'll work too.

Find me one tactical shooter or competitor who has EVER adjusted the elevation of an Aimpoint sight "on the fly" to compensate for target distance in the middle of shooting for time and/or in a fight. Summary, nobody does it, it's not a repeatable operation under stress.Never say "nobody". There is no reason why you could not use a reflex sight just like iron sights, resetting to different elevation.
Since this thread was started specifically about the Aimpoint M2 and that was that my reply was about, my comments are about the Aimpoint specifically, not the EOTech. Furthermore, the EOTech does not have the mounting issue because it isn't mounted in a ring.EOTech might beg to differ regarding elevation adjustment changes,
Uhh, no. If you had a TA11/31 reticle which contains vertical BDC elements, it sure as hell matters that it is square.The shape of the reticle is irrelevant to the issue.
