No doubt the topic of scope leveling has come up many times, often including mention of the gadgets that are available to make it easier. But IMHO, the greater challenge is finding the best way and tool to level the action when mounting a new optic. After all, if the action isn't level, what difference does it make if anything above it is level. It's a topic that brings to mind where is the best place to focus when leveling an action? I have always used the bolt rails as the reference point and use a simple grinder wrench like the one shown to level an action. The handle is just right size to slide into the rear of the action and across the bolt rails so that a level can then be placed on it.
