I think all my rings are Talley, or Talley inspired. I lap em all but one thing that eats at my OCD is that there has to be a factor of imprecision when you torque the lapped rings to the scope body.Something about scope mounting I don't think I mentioned. Normally I mount my own scopes. Only bad scope mounting I ever had was done in the shop of the seller. Got no problem with those that want to lap the inside of their scope rings to make a perfect fit but in about 65 yrs of installing my own scopes, I never felt the need! never noticed a scope bothered by not doing it either. To me, that lapping tool is nothing more than a gadget designed to make money for the manufacturer that accomplishes nothing of value for the guy that buys it. But it's your money and if it makes you feel better go for it!
You picked a GREAT rifle. I am waiting on one in manbun and the Desert Shadow....I have shot every rifle they make and love them. About 80-90% of our shop has at least one personally. Last Sunday I was shooting a PH2 in 6.5 at 1100 yds and it was money. Get set up with a commensurate optic and that joker will shoot better than a human has a right to!!Awesome video! I just bought a Seekins ph2 and am new to shooting rifles. Haven’t even purchased a scope yet. Hoping to get some good advice here. This video was very informative. Thanks!
On Talley and the similar, smaller one pieces it is much more of an issue. When using true precision rings (Vortex PMRs from Seekins, Spuhr, or Hawkins Precision) the precision work has been done by experts ahead of time. There is a reason precision shooters use pic rail/precision ring setups.Something about scope mounting I don't think I mentioned. Normally I mount my own scopes.
