Years ago on here I think. I read a really good article with pictures on how to mount a scope. The bottom of the scope is level so he leveveled it using feeler gauges for cars. I’ve looked in archives but didn’t see it. I still use this method. Anyone can link me to it would be greatly appreciated. I wanted to share it with a friend.
How to mount scope
- Thread starter astro3006

I've seen a thread where someone used a new deck of cards...I don't recall whether they used Poker or Pinochle. Don't use Uno cards, apparently, the poster said it made a big difference. 
Maybe this one:
Rifle Scopes - Leveling scope with feeler gauges.
This was mentioned in another thread and figured I'd start a new thread instead if hijacking. How does a person level a scope with feeler gauges? I'm having trouble picturing how that is done. Could someone explain in detail?

My preferred method. Takes up level scope caps out of the equation. Basically just the plumb bob method that you can easily do indoors with a few feet.
I just tape the flashlight to the handrail on a deck of cards if needed and then both hands can be used to work the scope
