Ep-5 and the Arisaka Optic Leveler

Hi All,

I finally got my EP-5 in - glass is insanely clear!

But, unfortunately, I cannot use my Arisaka Optic Leveler with the Rigid Precision Mount. I have the Arisaka kit and it has served me really well for many years. There just isn't enough height between the mount and the bottom of the scope to use even the smaller wedge. Not complaining, just disappointed and really more of a heads up for those of you that are still waiting for your scope to come in. I am more than likely to go with a different mount in the near future.

Got the scope mounted on my AR in .308 and can't wait to zero!

Cheers!

I utilize a set of feeler gauges to level out my scopes. The scopes erector is built off the flat on the bottom of the scope, so it just makes it easy to level the scope this way.

Thanks man. I ordered an optic leveler off Amazon for $9 that claimed they could work with very low heights. I rolled the dice and ordered it. It paid off. Basically, it's a copy of the Arisaka Optic Leveler but the base part is much thinner which allowed me to level the scope in this manner. Thanks for the input!

I do that also and wonder why there are so many convoluted ways promoted to do this. I’ve seen youtubers putting a level on TOP of the scope turrets thinking they’re square. A half turn proves they’re not. Or how about putting the gun in a vice, leveling that then running a plum bob from the ceiling etc etc.

It’s not complicated.
