[QUOTE="Core781, post: 1450008, member: 106156"] We used to lap or machine the rings if they needed "true-ing" but I learned a long time ago that using shims adds an element to the equation that you don't want in a precision platform. (or anything for that matter) I would just avoid anything with shims and stick with high-quality American made scope mounts and rings. I also recommend that you stick with steel if you run conventional rings alone versus a cantilever or similar mount whereas a high-grade American made aerospace aluminum alloy is suitable. It's like trying to mount rings machined for Picatinny to a Weaver mount, it just throws the entire thing out of spec. and you will have problems. We are all easily baited by promises of convenience but it seldom yields the solid results of doing it the right way and ensuring the entire mounting system is trued. [/QUOTE]
