[QUOTE="FatBoy..., post: 15315, member: 349"] Sheldon, The Badger rings don't need to be lapped if you ensure the base isn't flexed when you mount it to the receiver. Having the base bedded to the receiver will ensure this. The trouble is that receivers are hand finished, and the specs have changed a slight bit over the years. This small difference in the bridges may not even be noticeable, but then again it could be enough of a difference to enduce a little arc in the base, which would put a high spot in the inside edge of one of your lower ring halves. Though I don't think it's necessary to lap Badgers, I do it to ensure I'm not getting any undue pressure on the scope tube. As far as the reamer in the old rings. I don't see how those rings could have possibly have held the scope in place. I'd never do that to any of my rings. FatBoy... [/QUOTE]
