[QUOTE="Loner, post: 577285, member: 24560"] Lapping is always the last step to perfection in tight fitting machined parts. A ground steel bar is good, a cast bar is even better. Do whatever makes you happy. I've been lapping mine long before high dollar rings came along and never had them slip or mark my scopes. A pictures worth a bunch, here's an annie 22 mag with about 90 or 100 dollars worth of bases and rings. It wears a viper 3x9. Not expensive but I don't want it bent. The initial few minutes of lapping shows the rear bottom was not making any contact but on the front edge. It would have had to have bent the tube a little to conform it as well as not doing much for holding the scope in place in the process. ( The bright areas are where the lapping removed the bluing and whatever metal. [IMG]http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq204/bigwheeler/IMG_0201_2.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
