[QUOTE="Brad615, post: 1298994, member: 46747"] Hi, I did lap my rings as the scope mfg recommended it, basically the reason was for even & consistent contact & also to eliminate any possibility of un-even stress on the scope tube. With all that being said I have also owned many rifles in which the rings were not lapped. After I talked to the mfg on the phone & with the info on their website I figured it could only help & couldn't hurt. Also this was for a long range rifle set-up (1000+ yds) so once again I figured it could only help. I am very happy with my results out to 800 yds so far as I'm consistently group @ 2-2.5 in. I do reload, and so I'm sure that helps me a lot :) but from now on I do plan on lapping all my rings. [/QUOTE]
