[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2212923, member: 115190"] Man. Hmmmm. I don't think you should be able to lift your rifle after pressing it into your rings, to me it sounds like they needed lapping. If I cant set the scope in the lower rings till its completely flush, it gets lapped. Because its binding. And by lapping you will get more contact surface. Ive never had to bed the rings themselves, just bases. As a matter of fact I learned how to bed with jb weld and kiwi as the release agent on a DNZ mount like yours. It wouldn't sit flush to the receiver. So after bedding that set up was ok. I then got smart and went to a 20 base and Warne rings and its .5 moa now. Am not a fan of DNZ, but thats me. Other people like em good for them. And I would never bed a scope to the rings permanently, or semi-permanently. I think you should've ditched the DNZ and tried the new base and rings first. IMO. But I hope it works for you. And the spec from the scope manufacturer is made not knowing the width of the rings. I would just go with the ring spec. And blue loctite all mounting screws [/QUOTE]
