[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1650739, member: 78569"] The offset I've seen in the Talley's isn't vertical but horizontal alignment. One time I had to reverse a set of Talley rings as they maxed out the windage of the scope. I do have the Wheeler kit and use the indicating bars which are just turned stock to a point. Some times the tips are off in the horizontal plane by 30 thou+. That would mean the scope/rings have to resist 30 thou of bending which I would rather not have at all. I've recently tired bedding vs. lapping and much prefer it but I'm still experimenting. I recently worked on a friends Ruger Predator and the screw holes in the receiver are off both axially and radially. Rail appeared good but once torqued, it twists and cants to one side. Verified this with parallels and feeler gauges. Significant offset between rings. Friend didn't want to lap and so we assembled it with no apparent damage to the scope or groupings. I think it does have an effect on dialing POI but he hasn't tested it for that yet. May see him return for some more work. Bottom line, its always worth a check [/QUOTE]
