(Help a Rookie) Lap Talley rings or not?
Greetings.
As you can tell I am rather new to this forum but look forward to becoming more involved. I have hunted and backpacked off and on but recently have become more serious.
Currently I am setting up two rifles: one Tikka t3x Superlite .243 for my Dad and a Browning Hell's Canyon 6.5 CM for myself. I am planning on using Talley LW rings for both. The Tikka will have a Leupold vx3i 3.5x10x40 and the HC with a Bushnell lrhs 4.5-18x44. These rifles will be primarily used to hunt deer (mostly Blacktail).
My main question is regarding lapping the rings. I have done some searching and not only is there a wide array of opinions, the information is mostly dated. The Talley website states that they DO NOT recommend lapping, but I could see them doing this for several reasons.
I would welcome any input regarding lapping in general and more specifically with Talley rings. Also any comments or critique of the rifle/optics choice.
Thanks!
