You just have to make sure you take Jerry's advice and move your eye side to side lining up the reticle with the left side of the slot and the right side, to make sure that it's perfectly parallel with the slot. Then make sure the pointer is aiming at the very center line of the tang or bolt shroud/firing pin, and you're good to go.
I received my "Blem" yesterday. Looks perfect to me. I've been playing with it on a few scopes that are already mounted. I've found that in addition to Jordan's/Jerry's advice, looking back through the objective with the rifle in a rest/vise provides a smaller site picture that also helps confirm that the reticle is perfectly parallel with the slot. It's a very nice tool!

Jerry is "old school". He once showed me a stock that he hand checkered. It was flawless. It was also his first try.....
We've been good friends since we were 17. In the fall of '75, we hunted everyday before school. A time or two we pulled into the parking lot of the high school with critters in the back and rifles in the rack. Nobody ever said anything. Those were the days!!
Jerry is a perfectionist, for sure, and quite an artist from what I hear.
I've had some nice conversations with him and he's a real interesting guy. He thinks a lot of you. I've heard a bunch of "Pat stories", all good and very entertaining. You guys live in a great state with a lot of opportunities for hunting and adventure. I always enjoy those accounts.

Got mine in the mail today. I'll try it out this evening! I orderded a blem, but I'll be darned if I can see where there's a blemish. Very fast shipping also. Thanks, Jerry. Nice talking to you the other day.

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.
The only issue I had, and it wasn't much of a problem, was slick Delrin not gripping very well on a gloss finished Leupy. It did fine with matte finished scopes. I stuck a strip of blue painters tape in the inside "V" of the Reticle-Tru and the extra friction held without slippage.
Aligning the reticle with the slit is easy if one holds the scope to the light and moves one's eye back and forth to precisely align the edge of the slit with the reticle.
We've gotten some good points from Fire contributors. I liked the idea of looking thru the objective to double check reticle/slit alignment. I plan to try that next time I mount a scope.
Keep sharing those experiences and pearls of wisdom.
I just ordered mine. If this works as well as everyone says it will save me a lot of time. I am always fighting to get a true straight reticle.

The time is drawing nearer for the American People to stand up for what they believe in. To stop having their rights trampled by the a$$holes in Washington D.C.
Got mine in the mail yesterday, very fast shipping and packaged well. Mounted two scopes with it this afternoon and worked as advertised...very easy and fast.
I got my "blem" in the mail a couple of days ago. It looks perfect and I can't tell what makes it a blem. Maybe if I had a non-blem one to compare to, but I doubt it. Very happy with the purchase, the discount price, and the quick shipping. It's a good deal.
The Reticle Tru makes life a lot easier. I got one from Jerry, and it's worked very well once I got passed a few challenges that were purely a matter of using the device correctly.

Very straight forward.

Phil,
The best way is to PM Jerry directly. His screen name is Hi_Vel.
