[QUOTE="Defens, post: 1053245, member: 84753"] Generally after you lap the rings you could remove them and replace them to the scope without relapping. If I have to take a scope off a rifle, I just leave the rings on the scope and remove the scope and rings together as a unit. As long as you push the scope forward a bit as you remount the rings to the bases, you probably will retain the same zero. If you take the scope and rings off separately, you also shouldn't need to re-lap. Just don't mix the rings up! Mark which is front and back, and make sure you mount them with the same sides facing forward that you had to start with. Once they've been lapped, they've basically become like those high-end rings mentioned above. You'll also want to keep the same upper rings with the same lowers, and facing the right direction. A bit of masking tape to hold everything together in the correct orientation will make it all pretty easy. I doubt you'll have issues with the rings gripping the scope. Not sure how thick your camo coating is, though. I was of the belief that a lot of the rifles that are camo-dipped actually dip the scope and rings together, after they've been mounted. [/QUOTE]
