I got a couple questions for the guys out there that have more gunsmithing experience than me. I need to know what tool i could use to check if a reticle crosshair is level. Then also what are two types of bore site tools i could use. I got to know these for a gunsmithing exam and i have no clue on the answers for them. Thanks for all the help.

To your first question, Brownells has a reticle level that you mount on top of your scope. It is essentially a set of horizontal lines you line up with the cross-hairs. Its has a little bubble level to make sure it is true. Have one, works well enough.

Laser boresights? And, I believe there is an optic boresighter that a person can buy as well, but I am not sure how they work.

If you can find a level area on the action you could do this with a 99 cent mini level from HD with out having to spend for the extra guide to mount in the bolt rail.
