Thanks , I got finished lapping the rings tonight, and mounted the scope. I have mounted many scopes myself, but have never lapped the rings.
Remvssf, after lapping the rings, investigation of the inside of the rings showed where some higher spots were ground down. Even though the scope seemed well alligned before, had the rings been tightened down without lapping, they would have definatly put uneven pressure on the scope tube. Don't know if it will make that big a differance, but no more time and money than it took, makes for cheap insurance. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif Thanks Again, CrossJ
