I have found using the UM levels on the tikka action and to scope ring cap is the easiest method I’ve tried.No need. Just mount the scope square to the receiver.
Yeah, THAT.....No need. Just mount the scope square to the receiver.
In my experience, 5 or 6 of them, the UM level is a bit off. It's fine for field use, but not what I would use to determine a level rifle when mounting a scope.The cheat code is a UM level or UM rings with the level built in. Or some sort of base level.
Same here...not level and they are all off enough that I don't look at them for scope leveling but...they are "on" enough for field use to make hits on animals.In my experience, 5 or 6 of them, the UM level is a bit off. It's fine for field use, but not what I would use to determine a level rifle when mounting a scope.
I saw it mentioned above but not sure why it would be important to level your action fore and aft as well as side to side...it doesn't matter if the rifle is canted up or down to get the scope level.
Makes sense.Similar to the 3rd axis on a bowsight. If the level isn't 90 deg to the longitudinal axis of the rifle, the bubble will walk when the rifle muzzle is raised or lowered. Not sure how much it matters but I do it to be safe. I doubt it makes enough difference to worry about at 300-400 yards and in a hunting scenario.
I have all 3, but prefer the UHMW, mostly due to the narrower slot. Unfortunately he quit building those. Only the aluminum ones available now....I have one of the originals of the one you have Huntsman, but mine is made out of UHMW. I have several different types of scope levelers and I always use that one as my finial check. Fast and easy to use. When I ordered mine the guy that was building those included a nice handwritten note thanking me for the purchase and ask if I thought of any changes that would make it better to call the enclosed phone number and visit with him. I have never found anything that needed to be improved.
