Do you always lap your scope rings?

[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1731962, member: 110518"] Well after reading this thread and adding my own bit to it I started doing some more research last night. After reading about not lapping, lapping and bedding rings I've come to the conclusion that not lapping is OK for the average Joe. Lapping I have serious questions about. Removing more material from the rings to make them concentric?! I decided on trying bedding my rings. And to my amazement it was really easy. A bit of sanding to rough up the surface of the lower half of the rings, a few coats of release agent on the scope, a bit of Devcon 10010 spread evenly throughout the lower ring half and inserting the scope firmly and taping it in place. I removed the scope about noon and I say I did a very nice job. A utility knife to remove the excess and re-install the scope. [MEDIA=youtube]-d5EEkNdPeU[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
