[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 981614, member: 1290"] The rings will lay different on every rifle. No two are exactly the same. A one piece base will flex to follow the contour or angle of the action it's bolted too. A perfectly stress free scope mount would be nice but whether they are lapped or not the tube will be stressed as soon as the screws are tightened up. If even the most perfect rings are over tightened where the erector assemble pivot is it will cause the scope to have accuracy issues. Lapping rings is always a good idea but not always necessary.
