Cheap scope leveling

Setting up my new scope, I remembered something I had heard a few years back.. I used my Tasco Scope Mate, and then tried this other way just to see how it does.

You have a large mirror in front of you. I used a door mirror. Then you "shoot your scope" in the mirror. Center the crosshairs on the objective's reflection. The vertical reticle should split the top turret, and the muzzle. Not perfect, but does pretty well.

Sounds very useful. Thank you. I plan to try this the next time I mount a scope.
