Picked one of these up out of one of those "junk boxes" at the gun show. I have searched and found no other mention in this forum, but every online supplier appears to have them....

Never heard of or seen one before, but the empty feeling box intrigued me. So I looked inside and found Directions and a bent piece of plastic.
It appears you remove your bolt, slide the long arm into the raceways and use the line on the short arm to line up your vertical cross hair.
No gun vises or bench rests, no bubble levels, no machinist squares, no feeler gauges, no straining the MK-1s......
So I paid the $3.00 the guy was asking and stuffed it into my pack and now consider it not only the cheapest buy, but also the most useful buy at that show!
Took it to my buddies on the way home and replaced a scope on his hunting rifle. It took 10 minutes, but most of that time was un-mounting the old scope and removing the rear sight, none of this business of trying to find a perfectly vertical line at +/-100 yards from his kitchen table and clamp the rifle to same, we just adjusted for eye relief, shouldered it in a standard offhand pose, stuck left index finger into the action to hold down the square and tweaked the scope to be in line with the square.
I love it!
