Deadeye, Thanx for the speedy delivery of the leveler.
The quality of materials and workmanship and design
exceeded my greatest expectations. After trying some
of the other no cant devices out there, which did not
work as advertised, you get lotsa high fives. It's a
real jewel, truly well thought out. Thanx again.

Hey Phil, Wayne Dodge and I did the Proto type testing on this Item And it did one fine job of setting the scopes up right the first time! I would say it is a great product and is the type of thing you buy once and it will last you a life time! The ole story of buy cheap and cry every time, buy a good one and only cry once! Thanks  for letting me and WD test it out!

Hello Phil, 
I absolutely love it. Best thing that I have ever used, I?m always changing scopes on my own rifles and of course for good PR  when I sell a rifle with a scope it is used then.  It comes in handy in the garage or in the field I use it as well when a customer wants a scope installed so it paid for it self many times over monetarily and in good PR.
 
I took the liberty of adding your site on my web site when I first got it.

I remember, a while back you ran into a problem with the small level piece, the one that goes on the rifle, and mine was fine till  it came apart I just put some super glue and it seems to be O.K. for now, otherwise it is fine.

Thanks,

Dear Mr. Pinkley,

I would like to say that your Precision Three Axis Scope Leveler is the easiest and most accurate scope alignment device I have ever used. I have found it to be an invaluable tool in my profession; so much so, I have discarded all of my other scope alignment tools.
Sincerely,

DeadEye2,

Good morning to you, sir. Just a few short lines to tell you how pleased I am with your Precision Three Axis Scope Leveler. Simple to use and has worked to perfection in the task as advertised.

I am impressed with the precision of manufacture and quality materials. It is an asset to my work here in the shop.

Thanks again for making a quality product.

Best regards,

Phil,

Several weeks ago you sent me your new product, "Precision Three-Axis Scope Leveler" to evaluate. I have put it through several tests and I can only say great things about it: It is     simple to use, virtually idiot proof, It is compact enough to    leave in your range bag so you always have it, and it is very durable.

I first fired a 4 shot group at 100 yards to ensure my rifle was zeroed in. I then loosened my scope mounts and purposely  canted my scope, I next fired another 4 shot group which placed my zero way off target, dangerously so! I then set up the Precision Three-Axis Scope Leveler by following the instructions.  I leveled the scope and then fired another 4 shot group. This group was just as tight and zeroed as my initial group. Your product speaks for itself.

I have been around rifles for most of my adult life, as a competitive shooter, a hunter and as a sniper for the  Philadelphia (PA) Police SWAT team, so I know the value of  having your rifle scope level and accurate, I also know the catastrophic outcome that could occur if it is off even slightly. However I now will no longer worry about that, because each   and every time I take out one of my rifles to the range for practice, whether it is my personal hunting rifle or my department issued sniper rifle I will always check my scope's  level with the Precision Three-Axis Scope Leveler.

Thanks for a great product, sincerely,

Hi, Phil.

Back in August I bought your Three Axis Scope Leveler that you personally guaranteed would level my scopes. I just wanted to say that you are absolutely correct. I can't tell you how much I enjoy finally having something that actually does what it promises in reference to leveling scopes. IT WORKS!!!, and is very easy to use. Now I have the job of leveling up 15 other scoped long guns, and three pistols. Just wanted to let you   know.

Thank you.

 Shotgun News Review....

This article came out  in the latest issue with the Sep 9, date, (Volume 56, Issue 24, 2002) lower right hand corner of page    15. edition of SHOTGUN NEWS as follows:

"While working on this project, I encountered a product that really came in handy for mounting scopes on the air guns used in this report, called the Precision Three Axis Scope Leveler. When this is used correctly you will not experience the frustration and diminished accuracy of sighting with a canted crosshair every again.

After Setting the vertical aligning shaft at a distance (20 feet worked for me) you adjust the thumbscrews on the base until   the bubble level is in balance. You now have a positive vertical index by which to align the vertical cross-hair of your scope. Then, after situating your gun in a rest or on sandbags you  attach a second bubble level on a flat surface of the gun such      a as the scope base and you level your gun. Then simply rotate the scope until its vertical crosshair is aligned with the vertical aligned shaft and secure your scope rings, monitoring your alignment while you do so.

The Precision Three Axis Scope Leveler sells for 32.95   (plus 3.50 shipping and handling) and is a MUST HAVE gear for any shooter who uses the optics and doesn't like guessing whether they got the mount job done right". P.J.C. ShotGun News

There are some days when I love my side job. Getting to review interesting and useful equipment has its advantages. In this  case, I had just ordered a new scope for my old .22-250    varmint rifle and needed to mount it. There in the mail was a product for review that was going to help me do it and from the looks of it, do it with out any guesswork or hassle! Timing could not have been better and I didn't even ask them to send me this product for review. I think the word is serendipity but I'll be damned if I actually know how to use it. Whatever the proper  use, this discovery was certainly fortuitous for me.

This particular rifle is a Remington 700 VS with an IOR 20 moa M1913 Picatinny rail and 30mm Tactical Rings. The       scope replacing the old unit is a new Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x with a mil-dot reticle. I had mounted the tapered base in anticipation of needing the extra elevation, since the Elite 4200 6-24x only has something like 26 moa of internal adjustment. Fine for bench rest but a bit wanting for field use.  As I do for all my rifles, I lapped the rings in and thankfully, very little was needed . In went the 1" inserts and on went the scope. Now for the fun part.

Much ado has been made about leveling a scope to a rifle for precision shooting. I am neither an expert on this issue nor    even remotely knowledgeable. I can only repeat what I am told by the rocket scientists who happen to shoot. I will leave it to smarter minds to state specifically just how having the reticle slightly off center can effect your shot at long range.    All I know is that to leave a reticle unleveled means the bullets will walk left or right of point of aim at long range and we  cannot have that now, can we?   I make every effort to make  sure my reticle is as level to the rifle as possible. Both in the vertical (centerline of the bore) and horizontal. I have several gadgets for this chore but all of them lack one thing. A way to verify your effort via a true vertical plane somewhere in the   field of view downrange. I can recall sitting in a hotel in 1998 at the Prairie Dog Conference, setting this rifle up by using the wall of a gas station a few hundred yards away. It worked in a pinch, but I always wondered just how true that wall ran and if I got my rifle really level sitting in the rest.

In steps PPA Manufacturing Company of Kenton Ohio with the Precision Three Axis Scope Leveler . At first glance one    instantly and intuitively understands how this setup functions. Being a typical guy, I didn't even bother reading the directions and in a minute had everything set up. Realizing I am a typical DUMB guy, I THEN went over the direction to make sure I had    set the system up correctly and sure enough, I missed one important thing. Score one for the NPISA (the national printers   of instruction sheets association), who would by now have gone bankrupt if things were as simple as every guy thinks they are.

But I digress. The Precision Three Axis Scope Leveler consists of two major parts. A bubble level that is affixed to the top of your scope base and an adjustable "target" that is placed down range to visually align the reticle. The level placed on the rifle consists of a 4" aluminum bar with a bubble level at one end. To this is affixed a wide rubber band which wraps around the rifle stock. You place the bar on top of the scope base, bring the band down and around the stock to the other side of the bar. You  then affirm that the bar is sitting flush and flat on the scope base. If your scope base is mounted cock-eyed, you will have to find another flat surface to affix the bar. But even on a rounded surface you can fudge the bar a bit until you have a level reading by tweaking the rubber band. Once in place, the bubble level is easily viewed off to one side when you take a normal shooting position at the stock. Level the rifle now on a rest. Sand bags or a bench rest work equally well.

The second part of the kit is the down range target. It consists of a 14" long golden arrow shaft with a bubble level on top, mounted to a triangular Plexiglas base. The base has three legs. Two are adjustable. You place the target 15 to 30 feet  downrange or further, whatever distance allows you to bring  the target into clear focus in your rifle scope. By using one or both of the adjustable legs, and with the non-adjustable leg of the triangle pointing at your rifle, you level the arrow shaft.    You now have a perfectly vertical surface with which to align your reticle.

In use, you simply get behind your rifle, making sure that the rifle mounted bubble level is reading level and, looking through the scope you rotate the scope tube until the vertical cross hair  is aligned exactly with the vertical target. Carefully tighten the scope cap screws and call it a day. No guessing. No playing around trying to make sure you are seeing what you think you see. Its fast and simple.

What this kit has over every other scope leveling system I have tried is that the target does away with any need for visual interpretation. I have another system that can be considered  the industry leader for this kind of work, but it required the   user to match what he saw in the reticle with a card of horizontal stripes affixed to the rifle, just forward of the ocular bell on the scope. Your brain can, with fair precision, line up the reticle with the stripes but I never felt I was getting a perfectly horizontal match between the horizontal cross hair   and the horizontal strips on the card. Close, not never quite perfect in my mind.

The PPA Mfg, CO. Precision Three Axis Scope Leveler, for only a few dollars more, offers a much more positive alignment system. While it is not small enough to keep in a go anywhere field kit, it is definitely small enough to keep in your range box. The idea behind the product is brilliant in its simplicity and execution and the retail price, at $36.95 is only $9 to $13 more than lesser systems. It is the kind of tool that once you  own, you will find yourself using over and over again as you pull out your rifle collection to verify just how level a job you did on the collection prior to the purchase of this system. It's a keeper and has our recommendation.

Hi;
Received the leveler Wed the 12th and got around to using it today. I must say I was kind of skeptical as I have a whole box of levelers in my garage that don't work. So what the heck, the price was reasonable and it seemed simple enough. It only took a minute to set up and I was able to correct 4 of my rifles in short order. The only thing that took time was loosening the scope screws. Once that was done it was a snap, now I know why one of my rifles could shoot around corners.

The leveler is well made, easy to use and I have a couple of other projects to try it out on.  It even worked on my Barrett 99 which was out of whack. I would highly recommend this product because it works and easier then marking up a door and trying to carry it to the range. Besides the Wife might object.

So thanks for coming up with this and I will be sure to tell all the shooters I know about it.
