[QUOTE="Welderboy250, post: 2165433, member: 67711"] I am after low stress mounting that leaves no mark on the scope. My limited experience leads me to use fine compound in the bottoms until I see what I’m looking for and then light screw tension with the uppers for a few swipes to indicate they are good and then more if they aren’t but it has never taken much for the tops in my experience. I follow with some polishing compound to knock down the highest roughness from the grit. It also serves as a last indicator that the ring is shaped as and aligned as it should be. I clean between each step. My method has never caused a problem I know of and any scope I have removed after this process is void of scars from ring contact. [/QUOTE]
