I'm in the process of building (well, Predator Custom of Knoxville is actually building it) a custom .300WM on a 700 action. I've taken every step I can afford to maximize the accuracy of this rifle (action blueprinted and trued, recoil lug surface ground, Mcrees Chassis (not sure if it should be skim bedded or recoil lug bedded). I'm ordering Badger Ordnance rings and base and was pondering on whether or not some of these components (scope, inside of the rings, and base) should be cerakoted. Can a professionally applied cerakote leave an uneven surface on these components? Can everything but the interior of the rings be coated? Should the rings be affixed to the scope and then the package cerakoted? So many questions... Fire away!

Sometimes I coat my rings, sometimes I don't. Personally, if you want them coated I would coat them, and lap them in after they are coated that way you have nothing to worry about.
Cover the inner area of the rings in blue painter tape and cut it along the edge so there is no overhang. You will have to replace the tape after blasting and before painting. Comes out perfect.
