[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 3098515, member: 14204"] I stopped lapping rings quite some time ago. There used to be an optics SME/optical engineer and LRH member (Bruce Ventura) who owned a business selling optics and accessories. Instead of lapping, he sells pieces of tape (IIRC, it was made of high-temperature mylar), which is good for three scopes for $10. For the same amount, I found a similar tape on Amazon that does the same job for ~100+ scope rings. I have been using this method for 10+ years without any issues. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Scope ring mylar tape.jpg"]569066[/ATTACH] The first scope rings I used (2003) with inserts were Sako Optilocks on my SAKOM995 in .300 WM. They are as solid as they come. I also owned a few Burris XTR Signature rings with offset inserts. They are very underrated but built like a tank. This is an older video presentation, but it is still one of the best out there.
