I took the glass bubble cartridge out of a level and I lay it crosswise on one of the picatinny rail slots to establish the receiver being level, before leveling the scope. I work on a lot of friend's rifles and judging from what I've seen, its often hard to fathom how they determined their scopes were level when they mounted them. Canting does matter.

A cheap (as in free) fix I use, is to take a heavy string, tie a loop in the bottom, and hang a heavy object from it. (I use a heavy Master padlock) I then rest the rifle from a couple rooms away, and get the vertical crosshair centered on the string. Seems to work for me.
