All right everybody this 10 minute talk here is actually the second half of a conversation I had with Nick Lofenberg that started out as the effects that canton your rifle can impart on your accuracy downrange and then morphed into how do you actually go about

properly leveling your rifle scope when you mounted up on your rifle

and it may not be what the internet has told you. So tune in here, listen for the next 10 minutes,

and hear what Nick has to say about that.

It's interesting stuff.

Speaking of leveling radicals to the earth, plum, actions, we have a lot of things we mount

a rifle scope to a gun that in theory should be level to one another right or level to something and so some people

ask you know should you do the bubble level on the top of the action then a bubble level

on the scope level the rifle then level the scope some people say you

know you might as well just be leveling it blind you know if you do that if you're

not using a plumb or a plumb bob in front of the rifle scope to level your

scope to the earth and you might as well not even worry about it at all.

And I know I've heard schools of thought from both arenas like for people who are just shooting around at 100 yards

You could you can mount your scope probably 45 degrees. It's not going to matter that much. You can still get it zeroed in and shoot just fine

You know, but for a lot of folks that are shooting maybe the more

long-range precision stuff they get real they get real kind of psyched out about

how level yeah and in the truth of the matter is I mean there's actually some guys

like shooting F class that will

intentionally can't their scope on their rifle because when they shoulder

their rifle they know that they're inducing a little bit of can't when they're

naturally their natural point of aim where their shoulder sits in the pocket or their butt stock

sits in the pocket.
