Simple and easy.
If you don't have a Lazer then use a line on the wall or hang something and make one. The light back through the scope is a great idea.
Obviously level the rifle first.

Same concept for the first half.I do the cheap way, plumbline hanging in the other end of the basement, level the bases then install scope and level the reticle to the plumbline. Same concept…
You level the rifle first and while it's level you turn the scope. You could lock the rifle into a vise or simply have it setup on a bipod and level the rifle or pistol then look at the wall turn the scope and then start tightening the scope rings. If you cause anything to move it will be very noticeable by just looking at the shadow on the wall. No need to get behind the gun to constantly check.Level guy here. Seems like scope will be leveled to laser or plum bob but will it be leveled with rifle?
Guess I never thought of that! This same concept can be applied a few different ways it seems, I think I will try your trick next time, like Kris said it’s instant replay and don’t have get behind the gun to check and tweak check tweak etc. I don’t have a lazer plumb so never really thought to try…That’s the way I do it. I’ve got a plumb line on the wall. I level the rifle, then flashlight and line up the crosshairs. Only takes a few minutes.
I have a plywood wall on one side of my work/loading bench. I simply took 2 ft bubble level and drew a plumb line that lines up with where I put my gun vise. Super low tech and simple.Guess I never thought of that!
