[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 2213540, member: 65338"] There’s nothing wrong with that mount. It’s how you mounted it and the compound you used. You DO need to lap the rings first to make room for the bedding and attempt to keep the layer of bedding the same thickness (even shrinkage). If you don’t lap first then you might as well not even bed the rings at all. You’ll end up with excessive stress on the scope tube, bad contact when the bedding shrinks with the same weak pressure points. If you, or Ryan Pierce, or anyone else thinks lapping the rings prior to bedding is “counter intuitive” or not required then you are absolutely wrong. [/QUOTE]
