@oneoldsap

We're talking a matter of maybe a few 1/1000", but without the shims, the rings almost completely close whereas they don't on every other scope I own. The scope would not keep from sliding in the rings (a set of lapped Leupold steel turn-in rings). I switched rings to Millets turn-in style and with shims they worked well, but without the shims the rings still closed almost completely. With the Leupold rings completely closed the hole wasn't round and pinched the scope, but still wouldn't keep it still.
