Do you always lap your scope rings?

[QUOTE="shinbone, post: 1752536, member: 15248"] To each his own, and here's my two cents: Unless using the Burris plastic inserts, I always lap my scope rings. It is a quick and easy process with no downside. Plus, a lapping bar does not lie about alignment, and I have never ever seen rings that were perfectly aligned, no matter how expensive they were. The better rings take less lapping, for sure, but they still benefit from lapping. Whether such perfect alignment is [I]needed[/I], is another question. But it does not hurt when done properly. No way am I clamping a $1000+ precision optic without 100% confirmation the clamping surfaces are concentric and co-linear and free from pinch points and surface defects. Even if the benefits are only aesthetic in not marring the scope tube, it is well worth the minor effort. JMHO [/QUOTE]
