Thanks for your help everyone!!!
« on: January 19, 2003, 09:20:33 AM »
I recently requested scope info for my new SRH in 44 mag.

I ended up getting the Burris 2-7x32.  Thanks again to Greybeard for originally turning me on to it.  I do to much long range plinking at the range to settle for a straight 2x.  The variable eye relief was no issue as I only hunt from 2x-3x and all other long range plinking is from the bench.  The FOV on this thing is fantastic.

Got the scope from Natchez for $254.00 and picked up a scope ring lapping tool from EJS (Sinclair's son Eric) for $16.00.

This was the first set of scope rings I ever lapped.  I now know what you guys are talking about when you say imperfection.  I was lapping the Ruger factory rings for the SRH and you would not believe how much metal I had to remove just to get 75% contact.  If I would have mounted this scope without lapping it would have literally only been held by the leading edge of each ring.  On my intitial lap I was making contact with less than a millimeter on the front edge of each ring.

Thanks again guys.
