    If the Anschutz has a dovetail rail it's a 9-11mm level you need. IOW a level that will attach to a 9-11mm dovetail rail.

    Also be careful. My Anschutz has a "rounded" dovetail rail. A CZ has a flat one so when i tried to attach the picatinny rail i hd for my CZ onto the Anschutz it would not go over the dovetail as the "bow" or "rounded" top of the rail prevented it.

    This is important because of the level has a flat base and you attach it to a rounded dovetail rail it can cause it to sit to one side or the other.

    Hi Cass thanks for the info, the level I was looking at is on www.deben.com, I was on it there and they have one for weaver and another one thats a universal one so I mite go with the universal one.

    Thank you for replying.

    You cannot go by pictures but the weaver looks to be the narrower of the two. you need one to fit an 11mm dovetail. So if the weaver if narrower then it's the one to go for. The universal looks much wider.

    Weaver to me means weaver rail .hey have irregularly spaced notches unlike a picatinny that has regular ones. However both are 20mm wide.


    Your best bet is to e-mail them before ordering and ask which model suits your rifle best.

    Ya Weaver and picatinny kinda mean the same to me if it helps u I think I use hawke scope match mounts to mount my scope to it, I also checked my manual but doesn't say what kind of dovetail it is, I emailed deben dere so hopefully dey will know and give me the right one I need

    If you have a scope on the rifle you can buy a ring type bubble level that attaches to the tube.
