Lapped rings? Ha Ha, they were shimmed with duct tape....seriously. The pistol was sighted in, and carried for a couple of deer seasons (without success). I didn't notice any marks on the scope where the rings were. There is a light surface scratch or two, but the overall appearance is good. The mount and rings seem to be very good quality, but I don't know what brands they are, or if the scope was properly alligned on them. I believe the mounting was done by my co-worker though, so I would guess not.
I cleaned the tape residue off of everything tonight so that I could try it out on my scout rifle. The silver scope looks pretty ugly on my wood/blue rifle, but the eye relief is right on the money, and it does present a nice image. Camo tape maybe?
Thanks for the info.
