When it comes to accurate shooting, one often overlooked yet critical tool is the scope level. Whether you're shooting through long distances or hunting on uneven terrain, an anti-cant level like a scope bubble can be the difference between a hit and a miss.
Often mistaken for wind issues, canting occurs when your rifle is tilted to one side. This misalignment creates horizontal errors in your bullet’s trajectory, especially when shooting over long distances. Even slight tilts can cause significant deviations, with a 1-degree cant leading to several inches of lateral movement at 1,000 yards.
Anti-cant tools like scope levels are invaluable. They ensure your scope and rifle stay aligned, keeping your reticle plumb to gravity. With proper alignment, you eliminate cant errors and maximize the precision of your setup.
There are two primary types of rifle levels:
Scope Bubble Levels: Bubble levels are affordable and simple to use. They are mounted on your scope or Picatinny rail and show alignment with a small bubble. Keeping the bubble centered ensures your rifle remains upright. Although not as precise as electronic levels, top-quality Picatinny bubble levels like those offered by Gritr Outdoors can still prevent cant effectively.
Electronic Levels: Advanced electronic levels use LEDs or indicators to show alignment. These levels are particularly useful in competitive and ELR shooting.
Attach the gun level to your scope tube or pic rail, ensuring the device accurately reflects the true level.
It’s not an easy task to perfectly mount a scope all by yourself. Luckily, you don’t need to, buying a scope mounting level kit will save you a lot of time and effort, ensuring perfect alignment and utmost accuracy.
Gritr Outdoors offers you a collection of scope levels fit for optics of different sizes. If you need a 1 inch, 34mm, or 30mm scope level or a rail mounted bubble level, here is the place to get them.
