About this episode

Wade Chandler discusses the importance of leveling and truing rifle scopes in long-range shooting.

A solo breakdown of one of the most debated topics in long-range shooting: leveling, or "truing," your rifle scope. The host walks through the difference between a scope that's level and a reticle that's true to the world, why even a few degrees of unnoticed cant can quietly wreck your elevation and wind dope past 300 yards, and the build process used when setting up rifles for clients, from plumb-bobbing the reticle to fitting bubble levels to a shooter's natural point of aim.
