Do you always lap your scope rings?

[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 1731325, member: 59541"] I have come to find that you can eliminate lapping rings if several things are done or in place. Use quality bases, quality rings AND if your receiver is true, you shouldn't need to lap. If you are using a custom action, you are pretty much good. If you are using a factory Rem 700 or similar, you could be in for a ride. Too many times the holes are not perfectly aligned or the receiver is not true front to back. My gunsmith turned me onto the shim kit for scope bases and that works great. No more bedding bases. Use good rings and you won't need to do anything other than torque your scope. If I can use a 1 piece base, I do. It eliminates alignment issues that rings like Talley do not. Talley rings are quality and I use them on a couple of rifle but you are relying on the receiver being true. [/QUOTE]
