Re: Bedding Scope to Rings?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: hiddenshooter</div><div class="ubbcode-body">RIJNDAEL, I see you have over 5000 posts and I respect that. I have only a handful (but then again I'm an actual sniper and dont fuck off online all day). If you continue to confer with NF... you will see that if you have a properly machined action and base (those quality components jbell was refering to) you dont need to do anything. I guess thats the difference in someone that reads the manual and someone NF calls and seeks info from a few times a month. No hard feelings.... chump. </div></div>
Ohhhhhh, so your an "actual" sniper. Damn, I'm glad we finally got one of those on the Hide!!! Too bad we cant have a few.....shall we say...."champions" on here too. I'm certainly not one, just a lowly rancher with 40 yrs shooting experience, so WTF could anyone like me possibly know or contribute here...right? We needed someone like you to come on here and school us on ring lapping because we all know that no "proffesional" has ever lapped a set of rings. Yeah, we all know that all of the "quality component" manufacturers ("as jbell was refering to") always machine everything to 100% perfect tolerence........... What a f'n joke. Have you ever been in a machine shop....of any kind? Lapping rings has been common place in this sport since before I was born and still is. True, its not always needed and in fact, is being needed less and less these days but to make a blanket statement like you just did is just.....well.....wrong, plain and simple.
A proffesional like yourself with lives literally in your hands should do everything in his or her power to make his equipment "perfect" and you cant count on something straight off a CNC machine to be that way, not in a life and death way and that is IF the maker is even useing something with the quality of CNC. Many people here dont count on that "straight off" quality in a competition way either.
