I wouldn't call them a pos gun shop if you changed your mind, wasting his time.
But back on topic, find/use anything that will hold your rifle for you.
Get the rifle level, then get your crosshairs level with a line on the wall.
It really isn't that hard.

place rifle in vice or on bags and shoulder.
adjust rifle that is comfortable for your shooting style
download some level apps onto your iPhone (most are free) .... bubble level, surface, spirit, etc...
you can use surface bubble level to make sure rifle is level
then place iPhone on wall, table, mantle, fence, etc... with level making sure iPhone is perfectly level , around 20 yds from rifle . You can use a standard carpenters level if necessary
then look thru rifle scope and fine tune scope crosshairs left and right to make sure they are parallel with scope level or straight line
that should get you close
