[QUOTE="midnightmalloy, post: 645978, member: 25605"] when you deal with gunsmiths you have to be very specific on what you want. If you just said "mount this scope with these rings" thats all he's going to do. the majority of people that have a scope mounted on a rifle are not lapping, and properly aligning the scope. Most people dont know, it wont affect them and they probably dont care. So here is what Im trying to say: 1. Be EXACT with what you want the gunsmith to do 2. if there is a question on how the smith is going to complete one of these actions then have them explain it 3. Get a solid price quote for what you want 4. if its something specific give them a picture of what you want (like aligning the rings with the tool or technique your looking for) when you get into trying to coordinate a full custom build then these things are very important. its just that if you walk into a normal smith and ask for a normal run of the mill service and your not specific then you will get the smith to do it as 95% of the hunters want it. fast easy and cheap If you look at how much it is to mount and boresight a scope on many different gunsmiths websites you will find very different prices. its that most are not doing it the same. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
