Dude.... Wtf.... All these years I've just looked through the scope and it's NEVER occurred to me that you could use a flashlight to turn the reticle picture into almost like a projector on the wall. Simple yet brilliant... Thank you good sir!

I align my reticles using a plumb line as well, though it never occurred to me to use a torch to show the reticle on a background. I've always just looked through the scope. Learn something new and useful everyday. Thanks!

Almost done. Now once everything is centered spin your elevation up and down to make sure the internals are aligned with the reticle. Windage is a bit trickier. Using a squared line on paper works. Having a true horizon is even better.

Hi Danny, i learnt this many years ago at an air rifle club, one tip for your viewers though, spirit levels can be way off ! to test a level put it on a flat surface and note the edge of the actual bubble then spin the level around and the edge of the bubble should be in exactly the same place....cheap levels tend to be way off i just bought ten cheap plastic bubbles (just the bubbles without the frame for this very purpose and only 1 was accurate..........just a wee tip

By beginning with a spirit level on the gun to level the gun itself, this flashlight approach will produce a proper reticle-to-bore alignment if and only if both the gun and the scope rings are mechanically perfect across about a half dozen potential sources of error. In other words, in most cases it will likely be better than eyeballing it but don't trust it to yield near-perfect alignment.

Tighten the clamp screws while doing this to keep it aligned until tight.

Very clever trick, ive been HFT shooting for 10 years and this is the first time ive seen anything like this. My one criticism would be the stock is not the best place to take a level reading, I like to level from the breech area or the top of the scope rail. Thanks for showing me something new.
@CultofRust5 жыл бұрын
i had previously adjusted stock and action so they were square. I added the caption about the clip on bubbles for this reason. thankyou for watching tho. and thankyou for the feedback

If your vertical reticle stadia line doesn’t pass through the center of the rifle bore it’s kind of a waste of time isn’t it. Otherwise you’re just guessing that barrel bore, gravity and reticle are aligned.
