I read the two reviews and decide to take a chance. After my package arrived I checked the levels and the small one that sets on top of the scope was off a wee bit. The level glass fits just so in the plastic base and with little pressure it was seated in place. The scope is mounted on a M48 Mauser scout scope style and it was mounted by a gunsmith. Well I will not use him again and the scope was canted about 3 degrees counter clock wise. This tool works, just take your time, use a little common sense and you will get your scope aligned. Safety first!!

Product does just what it states. Allows me to quickly position scope in rings without guessing about whiether I have rifle and crosshairs level or not. Used three times since acquiring and more to do for hunting season. Great idea that works!

The one I purchased was awful. Neither of the two levels was level, nor were they level to each other. The problem seems to come from the cheap plastic bases. The tubes don't seat properly.

I bought this to check my recent installation of a Nikon scope. It worked well the first time I used it. The next time I used it was 3 months later because the nikon on my .300WinMag shifted due to recoil. It worked well for that job too. When predator 'season' was getting close I wanted to check my gear before wasting a morning with un-level sights. The plastic on the bottom of the units was begining to warp! Neither unit would read level even on a surface that was proven to be so by my larger levels. I expected a piece of gear that would last through more than 4-5 months.

Good price, simple and it works. You could bring your guns in to a gunsmith @ $40-50 each. Or do all the guns you'll ever own for under 20 bucks! Check the levels just to be safe. If they are off a bit (mine weren't) lightly sand them on a flat surface. Also, I added a little strip of flexible magnet to the one that sets on the scope turret just to make it a little easier.

This tool, while not looking like you get alot for your money, in fact you really do get your moneys worth. The level system is easy to use,easy to understand why you need to use it. Anybody shooting with a scope can eliminate the posibility of your sight line being off. I have tried it on several scopes and found it to be a great purchase and it will be in your tool kit forever. And the best price I could find is right here on Amazon, so buy with confidence !

I bought these hoping that they would guarantee i get the crosshairs level. I first checked how level my old scope was. With the receiver level it was saying the scope was not even close to level. This struck me as weird so I put them on a milled piece of steel to check they would both be level at same time. NOT EVEN CLOSE! with the bubble centered on one the other was 3/16 out of the marks... so I checked the flatness of the small level and saw that the bottom plastic is concave. When viewed from the side you can see daylight under it. Not even close to flat over the 1". I am seriously dissapointed that a "engineering" company would market this plastic junk, and have the balls to charge $25 for it. Save your self the hassle of trying these!

I purchased this after reading the reviews on this sight. It wasn't what I expected when I opened it. The first thing I noticed was the magnet had very little power if any at all. It would not stick to my rifles. If I wanted one to hold ,I already had levels that were small enough to hold by hand. It was very cheaply made,had some sort of black stuff inside the bubble case.
I returned it and ordered a Laserlyte level that fits on my laser bore sight. I hope it works,as this product would not. I tried it on the chamber and on top of the scope neither one had enough magnetism to stay in place. I tried on several firearms before I gave up.
Maybe I just received a bad unit?

This little kit really saved me some time mounting my scope. It inst the toughest but it will only get used on occasion anyway. So the question is frustration worth a 14 dollar fix? For me it was and I now have a dead zero rifle!

this gadget is good to have. mounted a new leupold on my r-1 benelli. a new nikon on my encore barrel. feel better about things being plumb,square level.
