[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 62538, member: 11"] I'm not [i]very[/i] experienced with truing scope rings but this might help. Take this for what it's worth. Go buy a 1 inch wooden dowel. Roll it across your table to look for warpage (or on the store floor before you buy it). Mount your scope rings on your gun (just the lower half). Lay the dowel in the rings and get them lined up with each other. (use the dowel as the scope ring wrench and NOT your scope) Now look to see if the dowel contacts the front and back edge of both rings. If so then mount your scope. If not then either buy a Burris (I believe Burris makes them) ring set with self adjusting inserts or go see your gunsmith to have your rings lapped correctly. [/QUOTE]
