Seems like the latest thing in rifle scopes is to lap the scope rings with a lapping bar and very fine grinding compound. Do you do that?? Or is it a lot of hooie and "BS".??
I have the mounts and rings installed on my new varminter but placing the scope body itself down into the bottom half of the ring(s) it doesnt just "drop in" like I thought it might...but instead its a very snug fit. I might not have the front ring just exactly square with the rifle bore and that could cause a "sideways" pinch to make the fit feel snug....I'll just have to check and double check that. Of course a lapping job would take most or all of that away...making the bore of the rings a perfect "cylinder".
Do you or have you lapped in a set of scope rings??
