[QUOTE="416Taylor, post: 1650880, member: 56474"] I lap most rings and have used most everything out there. Several reason go into this. I have not found any that are perfect. CNC is amazing but not perfect so when you have tolerance stacking between action, base and rings, things can get out of shape quickly. Most production actions even in today’s CNC world leave something to be desired. I regularly find when truing an action that base screws are not on top dead center and not aligned with the axis of the action. Lapping won’t fix this issue in some cases but will for minor variations. More often the rear bridge is really out causing lots of problems. If you just tighten things down you add stress to the system weather it’s a one or two piece base. I just won’t put a 2-3+ K glass on a rifle and hope for the best. Just my thoughts FWIW. [/QUOTE]
