I have a Cooper rifle with Leupold two-piece bases installed. I have the correct Leupold STD rings for it.
The problem as I see it is there is nothing flat on this rifle I can use to know when it's sitting level. The closest I think I could come is to remove the scope and rings, secure the rifle's barrel in a barrel vise and put a level on the front base. The front scope base isn't a wide span but maybe it would be enough. Then at least I'd know the rifle action was level.
Is there an easier way? Am I over-thinking this?
Thanks
