[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1947549, member: 57533"] If you have something like a Wheeler lapping kit with alignment & lapping rods its pretty easy just to check all that you need to know as far as the rings & the ring/rail/dovetail fit/alignment. You would be suprised at how far out it can all be between thatever your mounting the rings to. Either one could be slightly off, rail or rings & once you start putting full torque on the rings on any scope let alone a very expensive one there is no going back. I always start the lapping process to see where material is coming of, its rare that I dont continue to do the full job, even with supposed single piece machined rings & quality rails! [/QUOTE]
