The inclination measuring unit includes a guide member extending substantially parallel to the aiming screw, a slide member supported on the straight portion and slidably coupled to the guide member, and a scale provided on the guide member or slide member for indicating an amount of displacement of the inclination member, thereby to measure the inclination of the latter.
