[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1427540, member: 74902"] The Wheeler lapping kit has alignment bars that will show you just how much your rings are out of alignment. Then you can judge IF you need to lap or not. You can get a kit with 1" alignment bars or 30MM bars or both. This way you know just what you need to remove too (if anything). It's a small investment for a $12000 scope. I also use Burris Signature rings. They are awesome. Won't mar the scope and allow you to make adjustments if the scope happens to not align with the bore very well. I also use rosin on my scope rings before installing the scope. Just dust some on top and bottom of the rings. I have never had a scope slip with rosin. If you have ever used rosin in a barrel vise you would understand why rosin works so well. [/QUOTE]
