[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Scope mounting question - which leveling kit?

Posted: 7/22/2014 7:22:19 PM EDT

I'm going to be swapping some scopes around and mounting a new scope on one of my AR's; but I lost the levels that I had. So, I'm in the market for a new set of levels and I'm wondering if the Wheeler Professional Reticle Leveling System ($42) is worth it? Or should I just get the cheaper ($16) Wheeler Level Level Level?

I don't mind spending the extra money, if it's really worth it. Sure could use some advice from y'all.

I just put one of these on the top turret. I first make sure the top rail is level of course.

I have the Wheeler, but do not use it often.

I use a plum line or the feeler guage method mostly.

I use the feeler guage method, it seems to work best out of all the methods I've tried.

Go to nearly any pawn shop and buy a contraction level.
Remove the vials. Use the same vial to ensure the receiver, scope ring/mount and finally scope are level

Cost will be $2-5
