[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1098060, member: 34084"] With high quality, fully machined rings, the straightness of the rail usually determines whether or not to lap. If the rail is well made and fits the receiver perfectly, the rings should be coaxial and should not need lapping. A perfect fit is possible, for example, if the rail is properly bedded, or if it's machined into the receiver. On the other hand, accessory rails merely tightened onto a Rem 700 receiver are likely to have some twist and bend deformation. If you test the rings using a good steel ruler, you will often find that even high quality rings are not coaxial. [/QUOTE]
