All those years sitting in a crane with a ball hanging in front of me did wonders for being able to see plumb in the field.
To setup my rig:
I drop a machinists parallel on the action rails and level the action. In theory the scope should be at 12 o'clock over the bore....so at this point, it's level.
I then sight through the scope at a plumb object (my local water tower) and with the action level and the scope plumb.....go prove that at range.
A well driven 140 is utter hell on elk. Done in a bunch of them myself.
