[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 2937344, member: 26476"] To achieve the most accuracy mechanically (no outside influence), it is inherently necessary to level the scope with the rifle. My process is very similar to Pokinfun, except I start by leveling the guns receiver and locking it down in a vice, then move on to leveling the scope. That being said, this is on my precision rifles that I want shooting well under 1/2 MOA. Now, for your example of an AR with a 1-4X scope, it would seem that you are not looking for the most precision you can muster, so the eyeball method would probably be sufficient. I have an AR that I scoped by eyeballing it and have shot many a coyote off handed at the 200-250 yard range. Short of it, if it serves your purpose and you are happy with the results you get, that's all that matters. Doesn't matter if the rest of us would do it differently or not. [/QUOTE]
