You guys can be so cruel.
Still talking about gun accessories?

I have a Tipton vise and a Wheeler set like this and have been quite happy with my results looking thru the bore and adjusting the scope to match.
I use these

I have in the past hung a string line from the ceiling to confirm that I'm level with the world via the scope. The scope really should be square to the rifle though.

See I question that, because a barrel is round and gravity does not care what access the barrel is so is it not more important for the scope to be square to the word in the relation to the rotation of the barrel? I have always been told that a natural hold where one is not forcing a gun to move and conform to a specific position is the most accurate so if when I shoulder the weapon and the scope is square and the rifle comes up to my eye right then would that not be the best regardless if the rifle is slightly canted?

That is a good point. At that point I would switch to a 6.5 Gerndal because the superiority of it would overcome all obstacles for me.
I typically am talking hunting rigs that are being used in various shooting positions. If I was looking at something at that distance I would guess it would be being shot sandbagged, or from a bipod, or in a sled in which case you would want your mount in alignment with your bore and all square in its natural resting position.

That’s the thing. Someday when you buy your grendel and it’s factory zeroed for a mile but the t-Rex is only a half mile out and you dial down, you’ll have to do some trigonometry in order to hit where you are aiming as you’ll have to account for the cant of the scope to the rifle.
