Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters SCOPE LEVELING QUESTION

I just got done using my Reticle Tru. Again.

I really don't give a schit what anybody thinks of them. When I shoulder the rifle there's no cant in the scope. That's all I care about.

Now if I could just learn to bring the right ammo and find the animals I have tags for, I'd be all set...

Sir, if you originally purchased the Reticle-Tru tool from me and you are not satisfied with how it functions for you in your gunsmithing efforts--PM your name and address, and which model you purchased--as it will show up in my records. We can then arrange for the return.

After I receive the tool in the post, I'll fully refund the purchase amount, and the shipping costs. I want folks to be truly satisfied with their purchase--and to benefit from it...

It's a pretty simple process to not get it right...

DF

Don't worry about that Gentleman...sell one to me!

and this is why a lot or most shooters never have a clue about plum, level, cant or much of anything eles.

And probably the ones complaining the loudest...

DF

Yep...

Chuck Norris mounts his scope canted and then levels the world...

Chuck Norris doesn't need a scope. Or a rifle.

Just an update on this older thread.

Jerry was nice enough to send me a unit, I took it to a mate's place and checked his working rifles and found that they were all canted to the right about the same amount as mine.
After I set my rifles up using the unit I shall drop it around to Redneck Shootin' Supplies and leave it with Tony for use on customers rifles.

Short answer being that the unit works as advertised and I am pleased with the purchase.

The testing on the AR samples has turned out favorably.

Interestingly, during that process, I found out from one of the testing individuals that they like it better than the standard model with top and bottom indicators...

I found that the AR model works well on bolt guns too--though for that specific application I do indeed prefer the standard model.

Subsequently, I finally got a few of the aluminum AR Reticle-Tru models made so they can now be sold from the website. A note of no real significance is that the indicator lines are somewhat changed from the testing sample shown in the photo above...

This is why Montana can never legalize marijuana...

I center on the bore, or the center of the block on a falling block rifle. Same method as yours.
I have a number of spuds, reticles, levels, and magnetic thingies in boxes. I always end up eyeballing and checking against a vertical line on the wall instead though.

I bought one from Jerry recently and ended up having to adjust a couple of my already mounted scopes after checking them on the Reticle-Tru. I had installed them them using the "eyeball a vertical line" method and it turns out that I must be a quarter bubble off. Which confirms what others have told me.

I also used it to mount up a new scope - fast, easy, and appears to be very accurate.

I've decided to do a limited offer to 24 Hourcampfire members of the Standard aluminum model Reticle-Tru for an approximately 25% discount, so you will be able to get one for $64.00 + $6.00 shipping, for a total cost of $70.00 (normal cost for standard model is $89.00 + 6.00 shipping).

You will not be able to buy one at this price from my shopping cart on the website--that cart will charge you the regular price. To get one at the reduced price, you will have to contact me via email at the email address provided on the contact page on my website--(not by PM, as I don't sign in on a regular basis). Subsequently, it will all have to be done the old fashioned way--by check--either a u.s. postal check, or money order, sent to me.

I can only do this with a handful of these devices, due to the high cost of machining these units. This particular offer is just for the Standard aluminum model Reticle-Tru (not the aluminum AR model, nor the Standard acetal model), and this particular offering will give some of you interested Campfire members an opportunity to get one at a reduced cost--with only one unit per person.

As a note of interest, this tool is not for occasional use. Obviously, besides gunsmiths and/or gunshops, retail or wholesale sporting goods stores, and serious gun cranks--it is also intended for those individuals who typically mount quite a few scopes during the year. If you only have a scope or two to mount on a rifle on occasion, it may not be the best device for you to invest your money in.
