Howdy!

I have a Savage Ultralite in 7prc with a pure precision stock and Warne 20moa base. I am a lefty shooter.
I currently have a Mark5HD 3.8-18x44 and Hawkins Precision Rings with the center level

I just picked up an NX8 4-32x50 (check classified for the Mark5 and rings soon) and am looking for new rings.

I haven't had any issues with the Hawkins Rings but am looking for something I can see the level while in the scope. I am actually right handed, but left eye dominate. Where it goes weird.. I have terrible vision in my right eye, so the strategy of seeing the bubble in my non-shooting eye isnt an option..

I am looking for a setup I can see the level in my shooting eye with minimal movement. In my range guns, I have success with the MKM rail mounted level of scope mounted levels at the 10:30 or 7:30 (o clock) positions. But for my hunting rifle.. durability, low snag, etc are MUCH bigger considerations.

I am considering:
UM Premier with the built in level
Ruff Precision (RPM) with the built in level
Hawkins Precision with the offset top
NF Ultralite/Warne Mount Tech with a MKMachine Ultra Low Profile or Extreme Low Profile Scope mounted or rail mounted levels

Any input or suggestions on what would be the best balance of durability/low profile/weight but also visible around the NX8 with your shooting eye?
Am I just SOL?

Thank you!

SG pulse or MDT send it. You can pipe the lights to the eyepiece housing. That way you’re using your good eye.

Might be worthwhile getting an opthomologist eval for lasik or prk if you have that much discrepancy between eyes. Eye preference is like handedness. You have a natural preference, but competency can be trained. Neural pathways stimulated. Etc. Patching good eyes to stimulate bad eyes is a real thing, but beyond the topic of this thread.

I still haven’t figured out how critical a level is for hunting. But for comp shoots and practice it’s a part of the “process” of consistency.
 
10,000 yards...
Lol

I limit myself to 600
I’d think with your physical limitations and the scenario of trying to shoot animals at 600 from field positions I wouldn’t use one.

I believe there are going to be other things that would take precedence over a perfectly level reticle/rifle.

Just my opinion.
