Title: scope bubble level or not ?
Post by: huntandjeep on February 01, 2014, 01:49:34 PM: 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?

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

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.
