Best bang for your buck scope bubble levels?

[Pistolpete28]

What is the go to bubble level? I’ve ran various Amazon special fairly cheap levels. I recently have gone down the journey of only using scopes that pass the drop test, and I would like a completely reliable system. I recently had one of these cheaper bubble levels fall apart on me on my last hunt of 2025. I got 3 tikkas with um rings and a custom rig with a pic mounted optic. Just curious if there is a go to level, I have considered just buying UMs tikka bubble levels. I titled this best bang for your buck, but if it takes an expensive level, it is what it is.

I didn’t realize they made levels! Not a bad looking level for 40 bucks.

I’ve used the SWFA scope-mounted ones and the UM rail-mounted ones. I prefer the UM rail-mounted ones. I have them on four Tikkas and two Mausers. I only buy from them on sale. The normal price is too high for me.

One nice thing about the SWFA scope-mounted ones is that once they are put on it properly, they make mounting that scope on any other rifle a cinch. I try to keep a set on my backup/test 10x or 12x scope. Makes swapping it around very easy.

Yeah the um option seems a little expensive for what it is. Thanks for the input!

I’ve been happy with the SWFA levels. I’ve managed to pick up three on eBay for $20 each and free shipping which makes them a killer deal.

Well I may just go with SWFA, they seem like a good level, and at $20 a level you got a great deal.
