[QUOTE="Welderboy250, post: 811284, member: 67711"] I think if I just started lapping I would not have suitable contact area before the top half bottomed without the scope being calmed at all. I mean the rear ring is seriously canted rearward, either that or the front one is canted forward or a combination. Wich brings me to my next concern. The back ring looks to need to have more material removed to make it right and I'm concerned that the elevation adjustment is going to b whacked by the time I get it zeroed having removed so much material from the one ring. I also question wether or not those fancy Burris rings would allow enough offset without the scope tube getting into the metal at the edge of the ring. But even that concern would be irrelevant unless I can convince him to spend that much on the thing. He would prob just cut his losses and sell it before that point. I guess what I'm really asking is for advice on how to make the best of what I have to works with without making it a bigger mess than it already is. How would u suggest I go about attempting to keep the scope tube parallel to the bore throughout all this material removal? Or should I just throw in the towel right now? I think it's possible the thing might be a shooter as it appears the lugs have been laped and the receiver face squared up. [/QUOTE]
