Rifle Scopes Attention scope gurus...

[krumfola]

How easy is it to actually SEE the level in a set-up like this in different shooting positions? This is a random Google pic of Hawkins Hybrid rings that I'm considering because I'd like to have a level but I'm not wild about the thought of one sticking straight out to the side.

This rifle will be carried afield for hunting and used for some informal long range shooting.

It’s easy to see but not without breaking cheekweld.

I prefer something I can see with my non dominant eye so it can superimpose itself in my sight picture.

I’ve been wondering the same thing.

I’m looking at the Nightforce Direct Mount. So without a base rail I would either need a ring style level or the Nightforce tip ring bubble level.

I like one off to the side. I can close eye in scope and open opposite eye without breaking cheek weld.

Yep. Me, too. I have the MKM "low profile" scope level. All I have to do is use my left (non-dominant) eye without breaking position / cheek-weld. Works great!

I prefer the flat line ops...a little more than others but once you run one you’ll know why.

Also should be teaching yourself to shoot with both eyes open if your not now

I think I’m gonna take everyone’s advice and go ahead with a tube mounted level. Probably going with the MKM that @Racer88 mentioned above.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I mount mine like above, but try to get it as far forward as possible. As you get older and your eyes change, it will help to have it as forward as possible.

One of the cool things about the MKM level is the clever silver-colored "bead" at the top center. Instead of eyeballing whether the bubble is between the two traditional vertical marks, you can more quickly spot the bubble lining up with the silver bead.
