    Rifle Scopes Lapping Cheaper Scope Rings

    Ya,I'll bite,at the risk of taking fire... If the base is not integrated with reciever by the manufacturer,then absolutely... It would be far worse to "not" bed a quality base to a factory receiver,than it would be to "not" lap a quality set of rings on a quality,properly bedded base...

    Rifle Scopes Open center reticle opinions

    I had a Leupold 2.5-8 with a TMR and liked it for the same reason...but as mentioned by bp7178, I don't know if I would care for it with an increase in magnification...

    Rifle Scopes Lapping Cheaper Scope Rings

    I would not discount anyone's knowledge or experience,but I am a bit surprised by the consensus here...it seems most do not lap... Having said that,it is now fairly clear why I see so many scopes with clamp marks on them...as to the OP,take your time,use as little compound as possible and follow...

    Rifle Scopes S&B.. NF.. where to put the money on first really high end glass???

    I've only been able to "pet" an S&B...I thought it was a very nice critter indeed... But I have to stick with my heart,and NF is just plain comfort food...!

    Rifle Scopes Lapping Cheaper Scope Rings

    So true...ring lapping is not simply throwing some abrasive slurry on a wooden dowel ( sorry,couldn't resist ) and pushing it back and forth for a while...if your rings require more than a light rub,and you have to remove a fair amount of metal...the abrasive compound will build up first on the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32 alternatives??

    Don't get me wrong...you know what you want...end of story... But lack of adjustable parallax is one of it's attributes...small objective,fairly low magnification makes it easy to maintain parallax with cheek weld...just my thoughts...wish I could help with your hunt,good luck man...!

    Rifle Scopes Lapping Cheaper Scope Rings

    Simply not true sir... I have taken rings that were out quite a bit in "X"(left/right) And crushed the wing on the "+" side,followed by lapping,and obtained 100% contact on the lower ring half... Too much effort,if you ask me,but that is part and parcel as to why you and I both buy higher end...

    I have used Badger,MK4's, and NF's...I lap every set of rings I mount... It does not take that much time...I grind my own bars,to be -.003" from nominal...I'll listen to everyone tell me how perfect this set of rings is and that set...and I'm really glad they are happy..!tolerances...

    Rifle Scopes rotary dovetail mounts...

    Im looking to mount a scope a little lower than I can get with a pic rail base,so I'm looking to go with the Redfield type dual,rotary dovetail set up...That's the simple part...the issue is that in the past,I've used these,and the fit between ring and base can be a dice toss...sometimes it's a...
