Do you always lap your scope rings?

[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1732513, member: 93138"] It is actually pretty easy to see what the contact area is when lapping. Usually the finish is removed by the process and there is a color difference between what has made contact with the lap and what has not. That said, the next set that needs this sort of attention I plan to bed. If only to have done it both ways and get a feel for which is the better process to choose for a particular instance. Same question, asked again: How much is good enough? I've no idea if an estimated 70% contact is good enough, or it needs to be some other (greater or lessor) number, or if it needs to always be 100% Some guys will want 100% regardless, and that's fine. Others will be OK with XX% if that is enough to keep the scope in place while not marring it. [/QUOTE]
