Very few really align rings or know how to put them on correctly. That is one of the reasons you hear people say so and so scope is not sharp or the retical broke after only 50 rounfds etc.
Most think that you just slap them on.
I just bought a new Ruger. A close inpection turned up the scallops for the rings were not cut evenly. It's been happening more lately.
I had to change the type of set up I was going to use and lap the rings.
Guys, don't take shortcuts, the scope may hold up until you get that big buck in the sights or you are about to scope out a match wining shoot, them breaks right before the big shot.
Whealer which is sold by midwayusa has the best price on scope lapping kits and a MTM rifle holder is pretty cheal. That with a good bore sighter and you will have few proplems.
The hole set up costs little more than a cheap scope and saves problems with the expensive one's.
People will spend thousands on their rifle/scope combos and one weak link makes them not better than a used Western Field rifle and old cheap-o scope, guys remember that.
