[QUOTE="JTComfort, post: 2157159, member: 103514"] A few years ago, I bought a wheeler scope lapping kit for a new PRS set up on a Remington 700 (Schmidt Bender PMII, Badger Ord rail and M40 rings) - believing that lapping was a necessary step in achieving "precision." I used the metal pointers in my set up and once all the screws holding the rings to the rail and the rings themselves were torqued to spec, the pointers lined up perfectly. As an exercise, I went through my hunting rifles (some lapped and some not) and found them satisfactory. Other posters have offered "bedding" the scope, which I have not personally done. I believe your best friend is the torque wrench and Loctite. Quality mounts, rings and optics are reliably precise. And far more precise than the 800grit emery paper wrapped around a wooden dowel that we lapped our deer rifle scope rings with "back in the day." (Ugh....) [/QUOTE]
