[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1012416, member: 34084"] Minor scratches in the anodize are not a problem. As Paul said, larger gouges are an indication that the rings are not aligned or are not cylindrical. See this link for more info: [URL]http://www.highpoweroptics.com/ring-selection-guide-i-91.html[/URL] If the tube is not dented, then lapping the Talley rings will very likely fix the problem. 1" lapping bars are not expensive. Can you borrow one? 1" drill rod and valve lapping compound works too. Be sure to lap the saddles and caps completely. The Tally saddles are oblong and there is a trough at the bottom that takes a while to lap out. Switching to fully machined rings would work just as well, but would cost a lot more. I would lap the rings you have. Once they are lapped, Talley one piece rings work very well. [/QUOTE]
