[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1899586, member: 97196"] Some good advice on bedding the rail to the action but I seldom find it necessary to hone the rings. I semi-tighten the rings to the rail and assure they are slid forward in the rail groove. Then tighten the scope rings onto the scope and they will easily square with the scope tube since they were only lightly tightened to the rail. Then loosen the rings from the rail and epoxy bed the rings to the rail with releasing agent on the rail only simi-tightening the rings to the rail once again (make sure the rings are slid forward once again on the rail). When epoxy is cured fully tighten rings to the rail and they will not bind on the scope since squared prior to bedding. If purchasing $15 rings from eBay always hone and bed to scope since probably out of round. I have found good rings generally tighten well to scope without honing but if I hone rings I like to bed the rings to the scope since you have the added benefit of covering the exposed aluminum [/QUOTE]
