Bubble Level

[rangerod]

Interested in trying a one on a muzzy scope. Anyone tried these? Do they help accuracy? Opinions? Can they make for better shooting? Could it be important when shooting game?

Maybe a level that clamps to a rail if using a rail. Then it also helps with scope install too. Not sure if they make one like that intended to be left on the rifle after installing the scope. Ive seen rings with the level built in too such as Contessa and Hawkins.

I was thinking of one that attaches to the tube. I use the Wheeler leveling device to mount all scopes to my guns. That way I know the scope is square to the gun. I found an old one that won't go on without taking the scope off the gun. Didn't really wanna do that.

US Optics makes a couple rail mounted levels. From what ive heard they make good stuff but it aint cheap either.

yes have one on my Custom Inline on the Rail, keeps me from canting the rifle

Vortex makes them for 1”, 30mm, and 34mm, I have their 1” inch version and like it

Thanks Lewis. Looks like a good solid level. This is probably going to be my choice.

Can't go wrong with this. Got one on my 338 Remington Ultra Mag, it can take the kicking...

Added an MK Machining tube mounted level to an Encore/Arrowhead 45 I put together this year. Works well and it’s solid.

I have one on my smokeless muzzleloader (SWFA). In my experience, it makes a difference at longer (300+) yards, but not so much at closer distances. Didn't even check the bubble when I headshot a doe at 200 yds and shot a buck at 280 yds this season. And it takes some time to set them up precisely... or maybe I'm just slow.

I have used Flatline Ops with no complaints. My next long range hunting rifle will probably have a Flatline Ops or an Accuracy 1st on it. Unless I'm shooting at longer distances, I never even look at it though.

I shoot with people that have both the USO fixed and MK Machining levels and both are great as well.

Definitely help reduce canting and improve groups on my ML, other rifles, and crossbow.
This style is glued in place. Here I stuck one on the scope ring and front riser of my crossbow. Found box of 6 on Amazon for less than ten bucks. Especially helpful for longer shots in target shooting from bench rest.
I use the scope ring style on my rifles but these seem to be more accurate because lines are closer to bubbles edge.

I use one like the Vortex above on one of my centerfire rifles and on my crossbow, I think it reminds me to double check for canting the weapon. Other then that I only use them to set up a new scope.

Im going to try a couple of them on a couple MLs. I have a grouping issue that may benefit from a level.

 

[mckbcat2000]

Think I'm going to need to look into these for my smokeless guns. Thanks.

I don’t have experience with these, but have looked at them, before.

I have to share a quote from an old carpenter I knew, who was quite a character.

“You can’t always go by the bubble!”

Low cost, and works well. 30mm or 1"

You need a level, especially when shooting 300 yards or more.

The old buffalo rifles often have a level.

Have a level hanging on a tack on the shelf at the bench. Never used it, even for 600yds.

How much prize money or trophies have you won with that setup?

Haven't had the opportunity to compete with the current setup.
However it'll shoot .3moa (point 3) at 600yds.
