Do you always lap your scope rings?

[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 1731809, member: 74061"] I follow manufacturers recommendations with premium rings and have not been disappointed. I recently upgraded my 1970 Ruger 77V .243 to a 30mm tube scope. I like the Ruger built in base and rings used on the old tang safety guns and thankfully Ruger still makes them. I had trouble lining them up both on the L/R and U/D bore axis. I decided to lock them down and use compound to straighten them out. With the wheeler kit and drill. After running for 10 minutes I still only had 20% contact. 30 minutes later I got it up to 70% and quit. I was afraid I’d lose clamping Force if I kept on grinding. It was messy and a PITA clean up,but glad I did it. [/QUOTE]
