Do you always lap your scope rings?

[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1731496, member: 26477"] I have used Nightforce rings on all of my Nightforce scopes and never lapped any of them until I took on the two mile range. I incurred many problems until I was asked if I had lapped my rings. Curiosity got to me so I tooled a piece of round stock brass to 34mm 24cm long and painted it with a permanent black marker. I inserted it lying on the bottom of my rings and snuggled the tops down just to where I could drag the piece slowly out of my rings. Although they were making good contact of over 70%, by no means were they close to 100%contact. I took my findings to my Smith and he concluded. I let him lapp them in my presence as I didn't have a 34mm lapping tool. This solved my problem and I was able to make the shot the following weekend. [/QUOTE]
