Telescopic sight alignment tool

A telescopic sight alignment tool, comprising:

• a planar sighting plate having a forward face, a rear face opposite the forward face, a lateral span, an upper edge, a lower portion opposite the upper edge, and a crosshair alignment slit extending between the upper edge and the lower portion thereby defining a vertical alignment plane;
• an ocular seating block extending forwardly from the lower portion of the sighting plate, the seating block having an ocular seat formed therein, the ocular seat being defined by mutually opposed first and second sloping surfaces defining a V configuration, the seat subtending only a portion of the ocular of the telescopic sight when seated thereon;
• at least one alignment reference extending from the sighting plate, the at least one alignment reference includes an extension disposed laterally and horizontally along the lower portion of the sighting plate, the alignment reference extension thereby defining an alignment edge laterally disposed to the vertical alignment plane of the alignment slit of the sighting plate;
• and
• the sighting plate, the ocular seating block, and the alignment reference collectively being formed of a single, unitary piece of material.
