Are you long range guys running the bubble level rings on your scopes or not. I bought on from Vortex to mount on my new Viper hslr but iare they really necessary?

For a long poke in mountainous regions, use all the references  you can.

I run them on all the 400+ guns. It's amazing the difference a little kant in the rifle can make.

it makes the tall target test repeatable, and if you have to roll the reticle to make the 30-40 moa fly....easy leverage and reference.

Yes, I have a bubble.

Cant bring myself to purchace an ACI yet as I just use my leupy rangefinder to get the angle.

I really need to pony up for a good rangefinder...my leupy is only good for 600 on a good day..and after that I have to use the scope...no real issue, but it would be nice to be able to verify my scoped range

I have a level to n my scope on my gun set up specifically for long range. It is really amazing how much a slight can't will affect points of impact. I don't have a angle indicator tho I want one. For now just use an app on my cell phone.

Cosign/Angle indicators are good, but the level is definitely needed for any kind of distance shooting.  A little rifle cant goes along ways in throwing off shots.  You may think you rifle is leveled up good, but varying terrain will play tricks on a guy.
