Do you always lap your scope rings?

[QUOTE="Indian7953, post: 1731568, member: 88604"] Let me tell you what I do and why, you decide. I’ve only been lapping my scope mounts for the last four or five years. I have an old scope that Shows were the scope mounts angled into it with a dent, that tells me the scope mounts Weren't true or the rifle action was not true. Now I epoxy bed my mounts to the rifle action, then I check them with lapping compound. The last three rifles I have done were with tally rings, everyone of them needed lapped to getting close to full contact with the scope. The next thing I do is put a light coat of RTV on the bottom rings with my finger. Then I set the scope in place and I put a light coat of silicone or RTV on the caps get everything set and tighten down the Screws this beds the bases to the rifle and the scope to the bases. I have never had an issue and no slippage. If things need to be removed they can be taken apart easily. [/QUOTE]
