[QUOTE="Sully2, post: 829308, member: 31820"] There is no such "requirement" for rings to be "round" on their ID. They can be very oval in shape and still grip the tube of the scope sufficient enough to prevent slippage....thats not to say that "oval" shaped rings WILL do the job.....but they can be out of round and still do as percieved. One major scope manufacturer states to NOT lap their brand of rings. Tell ya what makes rings go oval and scrape scope tubes....and thats trying to tighten down ring screws to about 50 FOOT POUNDS instead of what they are supposed to be....and then scratching your head when things go haywire [/QUOTE]
