[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 59517"] I disagree. If your slapping Kelby rings on a rem 700 action you should (and highly recommended) lapp the rings as the outside diameter of the rem action is turned using a belt sander spun between rods or on a rod by hand. I recently decided to cylindrically grind the outside dia of my rem 700 to make it concentric to the bolt bore. It took .011 thou of grinding to produce a cleaned up outside diameter. It was tapered .0055 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]. Now that may not seem much but to a machinist like myself thats a load of room and will produce non centered rings imparting stresses into your scope. I guess it really depends on what scope your using too, if your sticking a 100 dollar trascho on it then dont waste your time but for me and my Leupolds and Nightforce scopes Im not spending 1k and then bending it to fit the rings.
