Practice helps that and if you find you are not that good at judgeing that get one of the levels mounted to the tube...But make sure its set to the reticle not the rifle, Siting a level on top will enter more error than the can't will, turrets are often not right, bit of shit on it, not holding it down right etc...been there tried that. Have scope levels but I rarely have to adjust the position, but i have on occation when in a rush.
    As has been said 2 subjects goin on here..

    For longer range the problem is dialing up a scope that is zeroed at 100 yards with a cant. This is why it matters at 1000yards as per terminators post.
