[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 13487, member: 1"] I lapped the rings on my last 3 or 4 scope mountings. I still have a Zeiss scope that was mounted 6 years ago by a pro without lapping. He put it on my .340 Weatherby and it proceeded to slip. This is a fast, hard recoiling cartridge with slippage being common. One edge of one of the rings dug in and scraped the finish off the scope tube during recoil. That couldn't have happened if he had lapped the rings to create an even fit of the rings against the tube. The other obvious issue is loss of accuracy due to the slippage. [/QUOTE]
