1. The Forum Rules have undergone some minor changes and updates.  Please take the time to read them; it will only take a couple of minutes of your time. By doing so, you lessen the chance of incurring the wrath of the moderation team or making yourself look foolish to other members.

    90% of users posting adverts in the Sales forums need to be reminded to read the rules as their posts are wrong.  This is unnecessarily time-consuming and will no longer happen - if your advert doesn't follow the Sales Rules it will be deleted and you'll have to start all over again.

    To close this box once you've read it (and the Rules), click on the X in the top right-hand corner.

    Thank you.

  2. A reminder of one of the Forum Rules:

    'Behaviour

    Do not make inappropriate or offensive posts - including threats, harassment, swearing, prejudice, defamation, deliberate insults or name-calling, other negative remarks about this forum, its moderators and administrators or your fellow members. Even if this is just your own personal opinion, RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS.'

    There have been changes made to our censoring software in an attempt to help with this growing problem.

  3. Dear members,

    Our membership (like our country) consists of people from all walks of life; different in far more ways than can be listed here and each with a different view based on their experience of life - regardless of their colour, religion or cultural heritage. Every single person in the UK has been born of mixed race – we are a multi-coloured and multi-cultural country.

    As many of you are aware there are a handful of individuals amongst this membership that persist in making provocative, inflammatory, racist and otherwise offensive comments. This has been happening across the forum to a certain degree but is most especially prevalent in the Adult section.

    The moderation team has tried to stay on top of this, however unfortunately because of the ‘offensive’ nature of much of its content we don’t monitor the Adult section quite as much as perhaps we should. As a result much of this behaviour has gone unnoticed unless it has been reported to us. While the team always intended to take a "light touch" approach to the Adult section it would seem that some people aren’t quite adult enough to be left unmonitored after all.

    This behaviour is, and always has been against Forum Rules as well as the specific stipulations of the Adults forum and it will no longer be tolerated. We feel it's time to draw a line in the sand and as such from this point onward offenders will receive an immediate and permanent ban from the forum.

    In order for us to achieve our goal of restoring the forum to the friendly and tolerant place it once was, we ask that ALL members be mindful of the content they post and help us to stop unacceptable behaviour by using the 'Report' tool at the bottom of any offending post - the results of which can be seen only by Admin/Moderators.

    You should all receive a copy of this message by PM.

    Here's a cheap and easy DIY scope level that attaches to the scope mount.

    Buy a cheap replacement bubble level. A few £ from eBay etc.

    Mask off the areas you want to see with some tape. Trim with a sharp knife. Quick spray and remove tape.

    Add a little double sided tape to the back and attach to your scope mount and you're done :thumb:

    If you have to buy paint and tape etc just for this then it's not so cheap but many of us have odd and ends lying around we could use.

    My lad bought a TV wall bracket and one of those came in the box so I acquired it. All good. His TV is wonky.

    I'm only putting out an option, not saying it's the best.

    I tried a branded one of those once, I thought it was crap and it can also catch on things.

    But its an option and cheap at that too :thumb:

    i agree , a surface plate is a must have for checking your level is level both ways , but you still need a level to check that the plate is level

    It doesn’t have to be a level plate. As long as the level shows the same error in both directions.

    I’ve just ordered a few different ones from eBay for about a quid each to try out. Good idea :up:

    It reminds me of an Episode of Monk (a comedy US crime drama about an OCD ‘ex’detective.. well worth watching if you can find it btw.
    He has a whole drawer full of levels to check each of his levels with.

    Hang a weight on piece of string. If necessary have weight in bucket of water.
    This will confirm vertical.With gun shouldered as normal, adjust vertical cross hair to string.
    Check by sighting cross hairs,from muzzle end, through objective lens, against white background.
    If vertical cross hair does not dissect barrel, then you are canting gun when shouldered.
