I decided I wanted to finally put together a rifle that would be a real tackdriver. I’ve purchased the rifle and the scope and it’s now time to mount the scope. Being somewhat of a neophyte when it comes to getting really specific about scope mounting for accuracy, I now turn to INGO for advice and counsel. I read that scope rings should be lapped. This, I presume, means that the rings should be mounted to the base(s) and then lapped to ensure precise alignment with the axis of the bore and to make sure the scope fits perfectly in the rings as well.
Short of purchasing tools for a one time use, I’m hoping to find someone who has either gone thru the process and has the equipment or who can direct me to a gunsmith with reasonable rates.
And . . . . . . I haven’t purchased the rings yet. Do I need to spend $150 to obtain rings that will help contribute to accuracy or is a lesser cost sufficient ? The scope I have is a Vortex 6-24x50 with a 30mm tube.
Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
