A scope mount assembly is provided including a scope mount having a reference axis and a level indicator rotatably joined with the scope mount. The level indicator can be rotatable from a stored mode, where a level indicator axis is transverse to the reference axis, to an extended mode, where the level indicator axis is transverse to the reference axis, and the level indicator projects laterally away from the reference axis. The assembly can include a first magnet that magnetically secures the level indicator in the stored mode, and a second magnet that magnetically secures the level indicator in the extended mode. A user rearward of the mount can view the laterally extending level indicator when the level indicator is in the extended mode, and optionally when the level indicator is in the stored mode, to confirm the level of the scope and any weapon to which it is mounted.
