System for Scope Leveling

Abstract

A system and method for scope leveling. The scope has a scope body. The scope body has a leveling indicator. In one example, the leveling indicator is an engraved line which extends longitudinally along the length of the scope. The scope is manipulated such that the leveling indicator is properly aligned relative to a mount. The system and method results in a level scope which reduces canted angles and increases accuracy.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A scope comprising:
 a scope body connecting two lenses on opposing ends;   a leveling indicator located on said scope body.   
     
     
         2 . The scope of  claim 1  wherein said leveling indicator comprises a line. 
     
     
         3 . The scope of  claim 1  wherein said leveling indicator comprises at least two discrete points. 
     
     
         4 . The scope of  claim 1  wherein said leveling indicator is engraved on said scope body. 
     
     
         5 . The scope of  claim 1  wherein said leveling indicator has a length of between about ¼ of an inch to about 1 inch. 
     
     
         6 . The scope of  claim 1  wherein said leveling indicator does not comprise any moving parts. 
     
     
         7 . A system for leveling, said system comprising:
 a scope comprising a scope body connecting two lenses on opposing ends;   a leveling indicator located on said scope body;   a mount for coupling with said scope body;   wherein said leveling indicator aligns with said mount when said scope is level.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6  wherein said mount comprises a bottom ring. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7  further comprising a removable top ring. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 6  wherein said mount comprises a level point. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said leveling indicator does not comprise any moving parts. 
     
     
         12 . A method of leveling a scope, said method comprising:
 a) obtaining a scope comprising a leveling indicator;   b) positioning said scope adjacent a mount;   c) manipulating said scope to align said leveling indicator with a surface of said mount.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said leveling indicator does not comprise any moving parts. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said mount comprises a bottom ring. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising a removable top ring.
