    Lapping scopes Rings?

    I never saw any sense in buying quality rings and then altering the dimensions. Too many people have mindless thoughts trying to be smarter than the next guy in my opinion. I have become a big fan of Burris Signature Rings with inserts.

    USARB 25 yard / or Meter Nationals 2024

    After seeing this post I spent some time looking if there were any shoots this summer in the NE. I checked the websites for the listed clubs and find nothing except Sherwood in Ohio. It's like they dropped out of sight under the new management .
