Ring lapping

[Member 34319]

I have that kit. Need to use it?

Not really. Everything I have has Warne rings. Which apparently do not need to be lapped.

I have never had to the need or request to use it yet, time to set the trap again.

Even 1 piece Warnes can benefit from a bit of lapping in most cases to increase the surface area that holds scope. 2 piece mounts always should be checked as you can have tolerence stacking from the drilling and tapping of the rifle in combination of the machine work on the rings. Picatinny rails are usually gtg but worth checking. Especially with 2 pc setups. Full disclosure I am a bit OCD and also not a fan of Warne 1 piece rings.

I remember all the cheap rings I bought back in the day, well some were cheap some not so cheap, but less than a set of Warnes cost, I always had a hard time with them. Especially getting the scope leveled in them.

I still recall my first set of Warnes. Thinking, that was easy. I think that was kind of the main reason I made the switch to them. They were so much easier to lever a scope in. Now knowing they really don't require lapping just adds to the fulfillment of purchasing them over other brands.

I've never ventured into one piece mounts. Never liked them to be honest. I know they make sense on an AR, but I've gone away from using the AR platform for anything needing a scope.

Well I'm glad this thread isn't about the worst thing I thought it could be about
