I am about to purchase a NF 5.5x22x50 nxs, with badger rings. Is lapping the rings recommended??
Thanks in advance,

Re: Lapping required??
I don't think lapping is "automatically" necessary or required, and Badger doesn't think so either. Still, many customers swear by it, and it does have its proponents.
I think lapping should be treated as a solution to a problem, rather than a predetermined treatment.
I'm sure others will chime in.
Good luck,
Scott

Re: Lapping required??
Personally I lap every set of rings that I get. I see no point is unnecessarily risking damage to my expensive optics out of laziness or being cheap. So my suggestion is this:
I don't care where I got the rings or how much I paid for them, I'm still going to lap them.

I'm with Longshot on this one, I lap all my rings. It doesn't take long and it's cheap insureance and I know it's perfect.

Re: Lapping required??
I lap all of my rings. It's easy and then I know I every set of rings will fit perfectly.
After you lap them, I'd recommend that you mark them so you know which top half goes with it's lapped bottom half ring so when you take the rings off to swap a scope out you can reassemble them and know which piece goes where. Lapping is unidirectional.
I put a score across the left side, two on the front set, one on the back.
(yeah that score mark is ugly but after a number of scope and rifle swaps, it's earned it's place)

Re: Lapping required??
I've never lapped rings, or felt the need to. I have always used good rings though, so maybe I've been spoiled.

It was a superficial rubbing mark, wiped right off. The NF coating is really tough tho prone to leave light scuff marks when rubbed up against things.

Re: Lapping required??
I only lap if the scope sticks when set in the bottom rings mounted on the base. I also mark my tops to match my bottom. A small F and R punch on the inside flat face of the rings keeps them straight and you would not be able to tell unless you knew to look for the mark.

Re: Lapping required??
I dont understand only checking the ring bottoms, the tops are just as likely to cause problems. I agree with Scott on this though. Check for problems, if there are none then no fix is needed. Its not a matter of laziness.

fwiw: I'm going off memory.........
I'd mic the main scope tube on the NF. Believe NF are on the larger OD size than most and most that knew in the past did lap their rings = Cheap Insurance. I do recall lapping mine when I had a NF.
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Someone recall, have a link, or can back my info. on this, please do. </span></span>
"I believe/assuming, again, not 100%"...Seekins makes rings that are for NF scopes. I would PM Mr. Glen Seekins first at see.
Have a great one

Re: Lapping required??
I lap mine... it only takes a few minutes and it certainly works if anything is off by a few thousandths of an inch in the alignement.

Re: Lapping required??
It doesn't matter who the maker of the rings are. Some will require lapping some will not. Even my NF rings had to be lapped, very minimal but lapped none the less. I find it humorous that people will pay $1000-$3000 for a scope $100+ for rings but not $30-$70 for a lapping kit. JMO

Re: Lapping required??
I love it. This argument is just like so many others -- like barrel break-in.
If you've got a high-quality one-piece base, and high-quality rings, then lapping makes absolutely no sense. Lapping removes any finish inside the rings (losing strength if they're aluminum, and corrosion-resistance if they're steel), and leaves a nice sharp edge where there was once a bevel. It does nothing to keep a scope securely in place that proper torque would fail to accomplish.
Lapping makes sense used in conjuntion with with two-piece bases, if the rings <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> don't line up. Ideally, then, the rings should be re-finished -- or simply silver soldered to the scope. Think German claw mount.

Re: Lapping required??
Now don't take this out of context here, because it's just a question from someone who's never lapped rings, but has anyone ever seen an improvement after lapping rings? I'm talking a good set of rings. If so, what was the improvement? Groups get better? Zero wander, or scope slip before lapping? Or is it a procedure just done to not mar the scope body?

Re: Lapping required??
Just the latter, for me. Didn't want to mess up the scope tube.
Of course I use $50.00/pair rings. I can buy 48 pairs for what my SN-3 would cost to replace.

Yes, and to remove any stress on the scope that may cause it to fail.
I have felt the scope "stick" with Badger rings and a one piece Badger base. So, it doesn't matter what setup you use, some will need it and some won't.

Lapping isn't one of those make or break procedures (like bedding an action). I do it primarily so there's more contact surface from the rings to the scope so there's less chance of it slipping in the rings if I clunk it on something. And it ensures there are no areas that will pinch the scope tube, leaving marks.

This is "true". However, if the receiver is the underlying problem it would be better (although almost assuredly more expensive and time-consuming) to have the problem with the receiver solved, rather than ruining good rings by lapping them. Not only are you sticking a band-aide on top of the real problem but the rings are now specific to that base and receiver.

If using a 1 piece base, you should check to see if it sits on the receiver without and rocking. If the front is not in the same plane, when you torque the base it will stress the scope. If so you should bed the base and lap the rings. This should help alleviate stress placed on the scope body and provide a more secure grip.

Re: Lapping required??
I just installed a set of 1" TPS steel rings on the factory two-piece Weaver base system that comes on the Sako A7.
Despite being good quality rings, the scope did bind in the front ring, and I figured it was a problem with base alignment.
Phil at TPS directed me to a product that seems pretty cool if you are averse to lapping. I chose to lap the rings and did not purchase the alignment bar, so I offer this without endorsement.
