Plan for me is to finally hit a range this Thurs. and shoot my new rifle(got it just before Christmas).
I'm looking at my schedule to pick my next range day. Going with my brother who is a sharpshooter and also taking my lady friend with shot competition in high school.
As for the scope level, I looked into that ball level but havent heard enough about it to really decide on it. I see his point of view with being able to see everything without having to move your head.
Also, what I didnt mention was i wrapped my cheek rest in foam padding. Feels so much better.

I picked up 2 of the BullsBags for the bench,a 10" and a 15".Slightly pricey(fill them yourself with cat litter to whatever firmness you like)but seem like the best around.Cradles the rifle so well you may not even need to use a rear bag on the bench.

I fooled around with mine too(added a piece of neoprene)but ended up taking it off and also going with foam pad setup,much better.

Did that on my wall with a plumb bob/aimed the rear of my scope towards it from about 2' away and with the lights off put a flashlight up to the objective end which showed the reticule along side of the plumb line.Pretty sure everything is about 99% close(even timed the muzzle brake with a level to be the same as the reticule/anti-cant level),but I'm as anal as you are and have to triple check everything or it bugs me 'til I do.

Well,just blew another $300.Ordered one of those ceramic ball levels,a couple of those roll up rear rest bags,and a chamber cleaning kit from Brownells.
My scope leveling kit(3 levels)showed up this morning so gonna go play around with it now.

Brownells is awesome. I stop by the store every couple of weeks to fondle the merchandise.

Rookie.....lol
Lead therapy behind a pistol is good. Lead therapy behind a high powered rifle is glorious.

I hear ya brother,I feel like I used to when a bunch of us would plan a ride for the next morning.Called the range earlier today and the guy I spoke to was cool,told him I'd never been to a real range before and if I missed a rule or something to just yell at the old bastard(me).He said no problem,they have another old bastard who would keep an eye on me.I think this particular range only goes out to about 200 yds. but that's fine,I just want to get it on paper at 25 and then sight in at 100.Gonna start out with some Hornady 180 gr.(have 140 rounds to burn up but will probably only shoot 20 or so),then maybe a few of the Hornady 178 gr. Tap(have a 100 of those)and maybe a few each of the Berger 185 gr. Juggernaut,215 gr. Hybrids,and 230 gr. Hybrids.Have already stripped of the Atlas bipod,pic rail,etc. so there won't be anything to interfere with the 15" BullsBag during recoil,will put it back on for next time and probably start shooting pretty exclusively with it from there on out,etc.Gonna go load up my range bag right now,fun playin' around with all that stuff.

Besides being loaded with hogs and coyotes, there are fields there that are massive that you can shoot on. They aren’t designated ranges but some of them are at least a mile of unobstructed space that you can shoot in. They have long range shoots on the base as well.
