[QUOTE="Defens, post: 1052237, member: 84753"] Since the Ruger rings aren't factory matched, you might consider lapping them when you remount the scope. The process is pretty easy and there are kits on the market to do the process. Basically you mount the lower ring halves in alignment, then use a lapping bar and fine grit to make sure you get full contact of the rings to the scope, with no high or low spots that might induce stress in the scope tube. I'm not sure what the bearing surfaces on a camo-dipped scope ring look like. Do they mask them to prevent the camo material from getting on those surfaces? If not, I'd say that lapping would be a must. [/QUOTE]
