[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2976323, member: 64108"] I buy an extra set of whatever rings I'm using and add a 3rd one on my magnums, or go with a base like a Spuhr and they are all bedded. If you check rings with a lapping bar you can see if there is even contact and correct it if necessary. I have seen a lot of people install top rings and torque each screw straight to 25 inch pounds, which isn't the way to do it. Start at say ~10 inch pounds, then 15, 20, and 25 like torquing down a cylinder head to get evenly distributed pressure. I have seen too many scopes move and prefer to eliminate that variable from my system.... so I can chase my tail somewhere else.[ATTACH type="full"]522014[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
