Matt.Cross Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 Frankly, I think it's superfluous. You can't really use it from a non-bench situation, and if you can't tell a rifle is vertical when using a bench rest you need to move on to another activity. I'm curious as to why it can't be used in a non-bench situation, I think it would be fantastic for helping you level a bipod when shooting from a hide on an incline.
blue109 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) seems to me a bench is the one place you wouldn't need it.more useful for a long range shot in rough terrain. but for 99.9% of people, it's just a neat doodad to tell people about when posting pics of your rifle online.

mineralman55 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 I'm curious as to why it can't be used in a non-bench situation, I think it would be fantastic for helping you level a bipod when shooting from a hide on an incline. I'm thinking in terms of shooting in standing, kneeling and sitting positions. Most people couldn't hold a rifle like these steady enough to use the level's info. From a hide or using a bipod, sure, I guess so. I look at doodads like that and wonder "why"?
survivalshop Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 While I wouldn't use a level on a CQB rifle , they make a difference in grouping & shot placement . Short range , not so much , but even @ 100 yards , you can tell a difference .
Robocop1051 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 I know a guy who has a level on the sights of his Sharps Shiloh. He says when you're shooting 1k+ with open sights you better make sure that rifle is perfectly vertical. I don't remember if he shoots the 45-120 or the 50-140. I know he's owned both and they were both enormous
Robocop1051 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 ^^^ jealous of another mans size! I'm half the man I used to be.

Robocop1051 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 My last shave was 5/7, two days before Greg's graduation. I've grown a full mane, of which I've become quite fond and proud of. I'm debated on a mohawk next, and going full merc. Check my FB for recent pics.
