A level indicator system for an aiming system comprising a base assembly, a level assembly. The base assembly comprises a base member defining a base axis, a plate, and a support member. The level assembly comprises a level indicator defining a level axis. The base member and the plate support the support member such that a location of the plate relative to the base member is adjustable. The support member supports the level assembly such that a location of the level axis relative to the base axis is altered when a location of the plate relative to the base member is adjusted.

A weapon sight apparatus includes a housing, a sight mount, an angle modifier, an angle adjusting mechanism, and a weapon mount. The housing includes a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side. The sight mount is disposed on the first side of the housing and includes a first end and a second end, the sight mount being pivotally mounted proximate the second end of the sight mount and to couple to a weapon sight. The angle modifier modifies an angle of the housing. The angle adjusting mechanism is coupled to the second end of the sight mount, the angle adjusting mechanism to adjust an angle of the housing in accordance with the angle modified by the angle modifier. The weapon mount, disposed on the second side of the housing, mounts a projectile weapon to the weapon sight apparatus.

An anti-cant indicator assembly, components thereof, and associated methods. The anti-cant indicator assembly indicates the orientation of a weapon with respect to vertical. The anti-cant indicator assembly includes a mount configured to mount to the weapon, a level including a vial containing a bubble and a pivot connection connecting the level to the mount. The pivot connection is configured to permit movement of the level with respect to the mount about the pivot connection between an operational position in which the bubble can be referenced by the user for indicating orientation of the weapon with respect to vertical, and a stowed position different from the operational position. The pivot connection can include a retainer configured to releasably retain the level in at least one of the operational position or the stowed position. The level can be selectively movable with respect to the mount to calibrate the anti-cant indicator.

A method of indicating an aiming adjustment in a riflescope of a shooting device. The method includes receiving, at a controller in the riflescope, a ballistics solution signal, the ballistics solution signal corresponding to a path of a projectile to be fired from the shooting device toward a target; receiving, at the controller, a first electronic signal corresponding to a position of an elevation adjustment selector of the riflescope relative to a zero point of the elevation adjustment selector; determining, by the controller, a magnitude and a direction of an aiming adjustment based on at least the first electronic signal and the ballistics solution signal; and activating an electronic indicator to provide a notification signal to a user, the notification signal conveying the magnitude and the direction of the aiming adjustment.

A method of establishing a cant sensitivity level for an optical sighting system for a shooting device, the method comprising: receiving a range measurement; establishing a cant sensitivity based, at least in part, on the range measurement; determining a cant of the shooting device relative to a vertical transverse axis of the main optical axis of the optical system; activating, when the cant of the shooting device exceeds the cant sensitivity, an electronic cant indicator structured to provide an indicator signal to a user; and deactivating the electronic cant indicator when the cant of the shooting device does not exceed the cant sensitivity.

A leveling jack for a gun sight (or scope) of a gun or rifle is provided. The leveling jack is movable between at least a first and a second position and is secured to a gun or rifle. The leveling jack has a bottom edge which may be secured to, for example, the picatinny rail of the top of the gun or rifle and an extended bar which contacts and levels the gun sight. The leveling jack may also be secured directly to the gun or rifle without utilizing a picatinny rail. The leveling jack is especially suitable for leveling the gun sight of the gun or rifle in a quick and efficient manner.
