[QUOTE="bill123, post: 1098541, member: 69116"] I agree that its not about the warranty and can't speak to anyone else's experience, but here's mine: Badger rail, Badger rings, S&B scope. No lapping. I have around 7,500 rounds on the setup. When I first installed the rings, the directions were very unclear and I only torqued the rings to the scope w/ 12 in-lbs. The setup worked perfectly. I realized my mistake after a few 1000 rounds and now use 18 in-lbs. I removed the rings recently and after wiping the scope down, the tube looked almost new. I did a test a few weeks ago to see if removing the rings from the base caused a POI shift. I shot 40 rounds in 5 shot groups. I removed the rings from the base after each group (leaving the rings on the scope) and re installed to see if I would get a POI shift. I could not detect any shift at all. [/QUOTE]
