[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 798072, member: 10391"] I've talked about this before. The only way to mount a rail on any factory receiver is to start with a quality rail and in my simple world that would be a Seekins rail built by Glen Seekins of Lewiston Idaho or a Near rail built by Richard Near of Near Mfg. Both are dead nuts perfect. The second part is a rifle smith with the tools that knows what he's doing. My smith briefly explained the process to me but I have not stood there and watched him nor do I want to. Talented people need to be left to do their thing. The rifle is jigged up in a mill so the rifle is true the way he wants it then the receiver is checked with a dial indicator for trueness. He then fits the rail to the receiver making whatever corrections necessary to the receiver. He checks the alignment of the rail with the dial indicator making it true and aligned with the rifle the way he wants it during the bedding process. Once the rail is mounted "perfectly" a good set of rings again Seekins, Near and also Vortex rings are built by Seekins should be used. Done correctly with quality products the rings should not have to be lapped nor will there be any ring marks when the scope is removed. Now you can mount that 1000-3000 dollar scope and not worry about tweaking it. [/QUOTE]
