There is a first time for everything and this is a pretty cool thing to do. Basically you are making the bottom half of the scope rings align with each other and make the diameter close to perfect so the scope to ring mounting will be true. This process reduces the stresses on the scope that can cause loss of accuracy. Here is a link to the supplies I got off of Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...5708&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BIN_IT
You apply either a 240 grit paste or a 320 grit paste to the rings and work the lapping rod side to side as you are moving it back and forth along the axis of the barrel.
I have steel rings so it took a lot longer than it would if you have aluminum rings. Still it wasn't bad. It took less than an hour, start to finish and I did not really know what I was doing.
I have on order a new Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x50mm Long Range Illuminated Reticle Scope so I am getting sorta picky about how it is to be mounted. :hmmm:
Anybody done this?
