Very nice kit. Has almost everything you need to set up a scope with 1 inch rings. The levels get a bad rap, but with a bit of imagination and creativity, these levels can be used to get almost any rifle trued to the scope.
Lapping is controversial. Some say "no need for that". I say, if you want precision in your shooting, you should start with precision in your mounting. Uneven stresses on the scope tube can cause deviation with variations in temperatures and such (theoretically).

I was very happy to get this set as I was in the process of mounting a new Leupold Rifle Scope. I set the torque, and tightened the first screw and the driver broke. The same thing happened to the next larger driver tip. So, the torque wrench is great but the screw driver tips are over hardened and are brittle, no good to me at all.

This product is fantastic. I have mounted many scopes and usually eyeballed the level and hoped the rings were in line. After getting this it makes life so much easier. The included instructional DVD is awesome! If you don't have one then get one!
