[QUOTE="shinbone, post: 2591225, member: 15248"] (Nothing wrong with bringing up an old thread.) I am just an accuracy-minded hunter. I always lap my scope rings, which are usually Talley Lightweights. It is super easy to do, and why not eliminate easily avoided stress on the scope tube? Not to mention that lapping prevents ring marks, which preserves the value of the scope. And, with better contact between the rings and scope tube, the scope is held better with the same torque on the ring screws, which is something I appreciate when I'm hunting with a hard-kicking magnum 5 miles from the nearest road. The Burris rings with the PosAlign plastic insert work well, too. But, due to the space taken up by the insert, the lowest rings available is a "medium." Still, the Burris rings are a good option when I am not sure what scope will be the final choice for a new rifle, and I just want to get to shooting it ASAP. JMHO [/QUOTE]
