This is one of the potential flaws in the idea, I have to assume a manufacturer uses the base as a datum and if the base is out of square to the reticle then then my system fails.
Which ones have you come across that were out of square?
A good few over the years, mainly lower to middle of the market, although one was a Old Zeiss!
This is the Segway Reticle leveler MKIIthat I use, they don't appear to be available anymore!
You put the bar under the scope in one of the rail grooves, elastic band goes under the action to hold it in place - quite simple really. Then look through the scope and align.
Like so
I do like your system, even simpler, any idea as to cost?
Plus I would NOT patent it - that just gives the EXACT details to our Chinese copy friends, But I would copyright it and register the design!
