The Gun and Scope Leveler made by Laserlyte is designed to easily level the aim of a firearm for improved accuracy. The leveler can be used alone to level scope rails, or with a separate laser bore sighter in order to level a scope.
The device contains a bubble-style level connected to a universal firearm rail mount. When used to make a gun rail level for scope installation, this leveler is first slid onto the rail of the gun where the scope is to be mounted. The rail is then adjusted until the bubble shows that it is perfectly level, and the gun is clamped down securely.
Now that the gun is locked in a level position, the scope is installed on the rail and the leveler device is removed. The rail holding the scope is level, however the scope itself may not yet be. To level the scope itself, read the enext section. -
To adjust a scope that has been mounted on a level rail, a separate laser bore sighter is placed into the barrel of the unloaded firearm. This laser fits tightly inside the firearm and projects a laser dot precisely where the barrel is pointed.
Next, the Gun and Scope Leveler tool is mounted over the laser using an included adapter. This adapter converts the laser from a dot to a horizontal line. Using the bubble of the leveler, the laser bore is adjusted until it is level.
With the laser bore projected at a surface three yards away, the user looks through the scope. The scope is adjusted until its cross hairs are perfectly parallel to the laser line. Both the rail and the mounted scope are now level. -
While both the scope and the rail it is mounted on should now be perfectly level, this does not automatically ensure that the firearm is sighted properly. To finish the process, the scope must be adjusted and tested.
To sight in and adjust the scope, the leveler adapter is removed. The laser bore sighter stays in place in the barrel. Without the adapter, a normal dot is projected.
The laser bore dot is projected at a safe target placed at the desired distance. The cross hairs of the scope should be perfectly on target with the laser dot. If they are not, very small adjustments are made using the scope's adjusting screws to bring it on target.
Finally, with the laser bore removed, the mounted and sighted scope can be tested at a safe location. Shots fired from a stationary position should now be on target with the cross hairs of the scope.
