Looking for a great anti cant device. I had used a Bsquare and then that Chinese made POS broke in half about a week later. Should I go scope mounted or rail mounted? Using a 34mm scope and shooting it off of a flat top AR.
 
Best anti cant device?

The Patriot is the top of the line with micro level adjustments.

The covert stays in the center of the scope vs off to a side.

Personally I use the scout or recon models.

The "best" of anything is relative. I chose the Flatline Ops Covert 34mm & Sniper 30mm models. They mount to your optic and can be fine tuned.

ACCU/Levels | Flatline Ops?

I researched this a while back and I found somewhat of a following for the David Tubb levels. They are more of a minimalist design and are only $50 as well. Have not bought one yet, but you might check it out on line.
 
I like the Accuracy First units.

And definitely scope mounted, not rail mounted. This allows you to adjust the level to accurately reflect the cross hairs.
 
Jesus all these posts make me feel cheap, then again this is the hide, home of $6k+ rifles haha

I just put a order on 2 Vortex mounts from midway. $35. Bit bulkier than the higher end ones but its a dam bubble level. $200 for a scope ring and a gel tube with a bubble? Come on!

I guess if you have the $$ why not.


But I'll be the cheapy and say Vortex! :D

Hey almost anything will work, but the OP asked what we thought was the BEST. As you can see many different opinions!
 
The MK I eyeball.
I couldn't agree more. I know someone will jump in to say how wrong I am, but the best anti-cant device is your natural ability to discern when the reticle is crooked. I have tried to use levels and just find them a distraction and actually create doubt into my process that is more harmful then sending it when it just feels right. As always,.........YMMV!
 
why would you want scope mounted? am I missing something. if it's rail mounted you mount it then level the rifle and then plumb the scope so every thing is level
 
I have a Vortex, but it is bulky. If I were to do it again, I'd probably get the accuracy 1st. I'll never buy a variant that has any type of swing or hinge system.

I prefer the scope-mounted models because it's a one time thing. If I move that scope to another rifle, it's still set.
 
I've been using the Horus Vision ASLI which is a combined level/Cosine indicator. Both tasks, only one "tool". Mounts to rail but can also be attached to scope tube with a single scope ring. About $60 when I bought mine.
 
How accurate is a bubble level vs the one from Accuracy first with the ball?

Haven't used the Accuracy First unit but my Horus Vision "Bubble" is accurate enough to give me sub 1/2 MOA accuracy (or less) at all ranges.

It's all a matter of choice. "Bubble levels" are used on all kinds of precision equipment. As long as it holds up to recoil and abuse why wouldn't it be as accurate.

I have the basic Hollands. Scope mounted. Tells me my come ups are level to gravity. Mine is foreword and easy to focus on quickly. No need to stare. Best for me.
