Was suggested to post in this optics forum. I think having level crosshairs is massively important, and after hearing complaints about the price of existing levels, I came up with my own design at a much lower price point that competitors. Originally I made these for a few friends, who showed a few more, etc, and now I've been selling quite a few of the little guys. A clamshell design is utilized so only one bolt is needed, easing installation and adding simplicity. The levels are made on a 3D printer, using ABS filament, which is quite strong, and holds up just fine to heavy recoil. I wouldn't suggest dropping a rifle on it, but then again I wouldn't suggest dropping a rifle on an aluminum level either. Above are a few pictures of painted and bare levels, and one installed on a GA Precision PRS rifle with a Bushnell XRS scope, some of the largest knobs I could find. I also have an adjustable level, for those who have the issue of tightening on a scope, and accessories ever so slightly moving. If you're interested, or have feedback I'd love to hear it! My (developing) website is: mkmachining.com

These things are really light. I bought the 34mm adjustable leveling kind and it weighs only 4/10th of an ounce.

I like it!
I wouldn't use it for hunting but for load development it looks to be useful.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.

It's certainly geared towards the longer range market, an almost imperceptible amount of cant moves your bullet more than you'd expect. For extended range load development or hunting, just shooting 3 shots with the scope intentionally unlevel one way, then level, then unlevel the other way will quickly show the POI change cant causes. Glad you like it!

https://mkmachining.com/index.php/product/indexHere is a link you can order at. There are adjustable levels as well, they are more complex but use captured nuts and a slider to be able to fine tune things with the ring tightened down, and avoid that slight shift I always seem to get when putting the final torque on rings.
