Bubble levels help, you must make sure both the rifle and the scope are level. The cross hairs must be centered over the bore when you shoot and vertical. The reason is that the path of the bullet will be a vertical arc. Your crosshair must be vertical to remain on the path of the bullet at all ranges. Another way is to use a plumb bob so the line is centered in both scope and bore or on a building that you know is plumb. If you scope is plumb with the rifle it doesn't matter if you put the level on the scope or rail. It is more important that the rifle be in the same vertical plane as the center of the scope than the cross hairs perfect at the zero'd range. I am still trying to figure out what bipod to get.
