Getting the scope reticle level has always been a problem for me. I have always ended up fine tuning the leveling at the shooting range.
I tried something on a set of vertically split warne rings for a CZ 550 that worked great and was very easy to get exactly right.
I put both rings loosely on the scope. Using a 1" bubble level I found a spot on my table that was level up and down and left and right. Then I turn the scope upside down and put the elevation cap on that spot. My scope happened to balance right there. I put the level across the base of the front ring and rotated it until it was perfectly level. I spun the scope 180 degrees on the level spot to make sure the bubble did not change.Then I cinched it on.
Took that and mounted it using the front ring as the witness. The scope reticle came out perfectly level.
You could easily do this with weavers. Takes no time to do either.
