Wondering who all makes a good scope mount with a built in level? It will be 34mm and need to be 1.5 high and am looking for 20 moa. Thanks in advance
Scope mounts with built in level?

steiner, spuhr and mdt all have levels built in. there could be more brands out there but i only mentioned the 3 that i own.
The problem with built in levels is they are hard to see when you are behind the rifle. I have a couple of Spuhr mounts as well those mounted in chassis and all of those have a scope mounted levels due to this. My personal preference is the Accuracy 1st level.
Ok thanks for the info, I’ll look at a side mounted level. Just figured if I could kill 2 birds with one stone then I would. But being hard to see makes sense
Agreed. With proper cheek weld you have to leave position to see it. I do like the leveling wedge for set up. Makes it easy.
NATO spec PIC rails are poor mechanical references for "level" due to the way NATO spec is written and tolerance stacking issues.
I run flatline ops levels on mine even though I also use SPUHR mounts. I use levels more for setting up the rifle and bipod as I usually lock mine over actually using them while shooting and the small level on the mount is too small for my older eyes.
would this be the case on a custom quality action and mount?
Like the surgeon action could be machined unlevel or the spuhr mount could be machined unlevel ? Thanks
1. the level in the mount is not for shooting
2. Never use a rail-mounted level you have to align it with the scope reticle, you want a tube mounted so it can be adjusted.
And people wonder why I say those currently using a level have no clue, they are just playing telephone, just like wonderama.

And you are correct about me having no clue... I couldn’t figure the brown end of a dog if I was kissing it. Thanks again
. Makes sense
I have a level on the M-Brace mount I’m using. Just threw the scope on and leveled everything together since it was a quick job the day before a match. I still have to set up a plumb Bob so I can re level the reticle to the fall of gravity when the rifle is shouldered at my natural point. I’ve honestly never looked at it during a comp, too close and out of focus and too busy worrying about other stuff. I guess it’s good on a square range.
I am kinda fond of the 'built into the upper' one on my old Mega Arms lr308.
I will admit tho....it *can* get in the way.
It will retract into it's self and with about 1/8th turn stay in or pop out as needed.
Too bad they don't make them anymore.

Great info, Thanks again. Most of my shooting is non match, prone out in the middle of nowhere, ringing steel.
