This video from Smyth Busters features Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant discussing whether lapping scope rings is necessary for rifle scopes. They explain that lapping is a process of removing material from scope rings to ensure a precise and consistent fit with the scope tube, preventing uneven pressure that can affect accuracy. The necessity of lapping depends on the quality of the scope rings and mounts; high-quality machined mounts may not require it, while cheaper or less precise mounts might. They offer a tip on how to determine when lapping is needed. The video emphasizes that lapping scope rings is not a myth and can be crucial for proper scope mounting.
