[QUOTE="RustyRick, post: 980640, member: 69572"] Sable - you got my point. It shouldn't be that hard to set up the CNC machines and engineer receivers to ensure that scope bases lie on a flat planer surface and that the screws mount the rings to ensure that the front and rear scope rings perfectly align the tube. You may use a scope ring lapping tool, but that still doesn't ensure that the center line (bore sight) is exactly parallel with the line of sight of the scope. And there is no way to measure that. My question still stands - if I pull 10 rifles off the shelf in the store, and mount the same set of good rings on all 10. How many time would the lapping bars NOT line up? I have a hard time imagining that it would happen often? But I don't know. [/QUOTE]
