Product Review - Level Level Level by Wheeler Engineering

The Level Level Level by Wheeler Engineering is one of the most useful items that you could own. This past weekend I had the opportunity to try it out and let me say I am glad I did.

They say it is the Most simplest, most accurate scope leveling system ever devised. I have to say they are correct with that statement.

Overview:

Misaligned crosshairs rob you of accurate bullet placement, especially at long range, where it counts. Crooked crosshairs cause your scope adjustments to be unreliable, and even make zeroing your rifle a frustrating and costly experience. The Level-Level-Level works because the scope is leveled to your receiver, not to the top of a scope base.

The makers of some scope leveling devices tell you that leveling your scope to the top of the base produces a level scope. Don't believe it! An accurate rifle requires level crosshairs, and the Level-Level-Level gives you the means to level your scope perfectly in only minutes.

Level your scope as you mount it on your rifle. The magnetic base in the rifle level bridges the bolt raceway, allowing you to position your rifle perfectly level. Then level the scope, tighten the rings, and the job is done.

Works with practically any bolt-action rifle, and is adaptable to other designs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I had two different applications that I need to do with this product. One was that I had a scope where the crosshairs were obviously not level, I had no idea what happened but I actually had to tilt the rifle to make the crosshairs level which is not a good thing.

After loosening up the screws and applying the levels (one goes on top of the receiver and the other goes on top of the elevation dial on the scope) I first made sure that the rifle was secure and level then I had to turn the scope so that itself was level. After making sure both levels were where they were suppose to be all I had to do was tighten the screws on the mounts. With that being said i picked up the rifle and brought it to my shoulder and "what a difference". Everything looked perfect and it was as easy as 1 2 3.

The next application I wanted to do was to actually mount a scope on my shotgun. As you can see from the picture both levels are perfect.

I was so amazed at how easy it was and it makes so much sense that you can only imagine not using these.

At this time I want to thank,
J. Michael roach / Branch Manager at Battenfeld Technologies Inc. for supplying me with the "Level Level Level" from Wheeler Engineering.

Looks like a really simple way to level your scope. I wish I had something like this years ago. I would put a scope on a rifle and make sure it was as level as I could get by eye then my brother would look through it and tell me it was crooked. He did it because he knew it would mess with my head. With something like this there would be no arguement.

I have mounted well over a hundred scopes, and never experienced the problem that these levels are designed to solve. How much do they cost? Thanks, Jack

Jack, for example if you were to buy it from let's say USA Midway it would be $19.99 plus tax. For me with my eye's not as good as they used to be it is easier to look at the bubble in a level than to try and square the cross hairs.
I do although understand where you are coming from.
