I decided I am going to mount my own scopes from here on out. Having never mounted a scope before I decided to start with the wheeler engineering kit. I did not realize it came with levels and I ordered a separate level kit. My question is do I need a separate leveling kit or will the basic levels in The wheeler kit do a good job? Thanks

If you've already got an accurate level, some twine and something small and dense, you've got what you need. You have to fine tune at the range by running a series of vertical adjustments anyhow.

The reason so many different types of tools for that job are sold is because people have varying success with them, dependent in part on themselves. It's convenience that you buy. What is convenient depends on you.

I'm a cheapskate. So, I just do the plumb bob, level routine and verify on target.
 
The one kit will work and you don't need additional levels. I use that Wheeler kit and the twine and plumb bob and it works well for me. Saw something from Vortex the other day where they shine a light back through the scope. Thought that was pretty slick too.
