Hang a plumb bob on the door, turn out the lights, and shine a flashlight thru the scope. Or take a 4' level to the range and set it up at 50-100 yards.

Just pull your head back and look if the reticle is lined up with the center of the action/bore - done.

This. It's really not hard.

What reference on the action does this tool use to ensure the action is level?

Again, for the kids in the back - leveling the action does nothing.

Not a thing.
Nada.
Nichego.
Nichts.

It's using a flat surface on the action that is parallel with the scope base. If there are no flat parallel surface then it is prolly useless.

All it's doing is helping the user to "visually" align the horizontal crosshairs with the horizontal BLACK lines on the tool and making the vertical crosshair thru center of bore. You could lay the rifle on the kitchen table side ways and still align the crosshairs with said tool. Not sure where the level part comes into play.

But, like others have said there are other ways (easier?) to achieve the same results.
