[QUOTE="arthurj, post: 98564, member: 3718"] Some people will say it isn't necessary to bed the base or lap the rings and others like to be sure there is no stress in the mounting system. I would think that if you didn't lap the rings, you would defeat the whole purpose of bedding the base. Rings may be machined very well but you will get a much better fit after lapping them. I've never used the scope leveler. I just level the scope from the top of the turret, which has worked well for me. You can also draw a vertical line on a target and line the crosshair up with that. You definitely will need the anticant device, if your crosshair is not vertical shot to shot you will be all over the place. Even if its not perfectly plumb, just keeping it consistant from shot to shot will allow you to shoot good groups. [/QUOTE]
