You don’t trust the CNC rings to be concentric, but you do trust the lapping bar? And the scope itself?
Sorry for the late reply. I was out this weekend, and then playing catchup all week. I love this discussion, and I'm always searching for the perfect method. I'll be the first to agree, that what I do may seem overkill. But here’s my reasoning for my method/madness. I want the most perfect setup possible. Even rings that are made to tight specs and ones that are essentially exact clones of each other, when you take them and mount them on a picatinny rail and place them apart from each other, there is a slight chance that even torquing them on the picatinny rail, that now each ring "might" not be perfectly aligned. Are all picatinny rails perfectly straight? Could a rail even be slightly off? I sure hope they are all perfect. But this method helps ensure that everything is aligned after mounting. It might be ever so minimal, but what I’m doing here is making this entire system work together as one and essentially slowly tightening all of the tolerances. I own two other 300 RUM rifles that both use Area 419 Match rings. I love how those rings are made, I like everyone else, paid full price for them, and I still lapped Area 419 Match rings, and I still bedded the scope rings too. Is this process I use completely necessary? To some, they might say no. I’m all for other methods being perfectly fine. But to me, it helps tighten everything down and true it, and I'm slowly building a system that I trust to perform on a hunt of a lifetime. Plus, I enjoy spending nights working on a rifle. I’m only a hunter, and there might be times I slip, fall, or hit something against my scope, and I want all my rifles to hold up to anything on a hunt. I took my 300 RUM to Tajikistan this past year, and I set up my riflescope this exact way. I was the only person out of five people who didn’t have to re-zero their rifle after all that travel. I can’t say exactly why that was, but I can’t help but think this scope mounting steps might have helped. Hope all that makes sense haha. There's definitely no right or wrong way here. But I love the discussion on this!
@@brady_j_miller all good! And I get why.
I used to do it to all my rifles. I’d lap every set of rings and bed every base. Finally figured out my lapping bar isn’t any more square than anything else.
I still lap some rings. But what I’ve learned to do is to test the base to see if it needs bedded and then test the rings to see if they need lapped.
I usually do four or five rifles a year. I have had one base in the last year that needed bedded. Haven’t had any rings that needed lapped.
Here’s one for you, check our Sphur…they are one piece and have voids so that you can glue your scope in. That’s a pretty common practice in some foreign militaries.
I would advise no one to bed their scopes. You will be better off to buy high quality, scope rings, they are built on CNC with high tolerance… Human error is more than scope error…Never heard of anybody in the precision rifle bedding scopes now days. That was something done 10 to 15 years ago.
Agreed. I mean Brady is using very high quality rings but I really don’t think it was necessary for him to bed the scope. Now the pic rail I can understand.
It’s not going to hurt
I get what you're saying here, and I understand that this step isn't always needed. I'm a hunter first. So I'm trying to do everything I can to ensure things are perfect for anything a hunt throws my way. I dropped this brief example in another reply to comment. But I took my 300 RUM to Tajikistan this past year to hunt Marco Polo sheep and Ibex, and I set up my riflescope this exact way. I was the only person out of five people at the main camp who didn’t have to re-zero their rifle after all that travel and all those people in airports beating up my rifle case and those nasty single lane mountain roads along Afghanistan. My rifle shot a perfect 100 yard zero and then put another perfect shot at like 500 yards if I remember right. I can’t say exactly why that was, but I can’t help but think this scope mounting steps might have helped.
@@brady_j_miller that’s a really good example and I’m sure with the care you put into it it’s not hurting anything. I just worry about someone else doing it, rushing the process and screwing something up. I like buying/building rifles with a machined on rail that way that can’t go wrong and then I just buy the best rings I can to assure the scope won’t move in the rings. I haven’t had an issue yet🤞but I also haven’t been to Tajikistan!
@@brady_j_miller I feel like these new integrated scope rings are the way to go now. It’s just one connection to the rifle to worry about and then lap the rings. Someone that doesn’t trust the specs on a lapping bar sounds kinda funny 😂. You can check the specs of your lapping bar pretty easy. You do good work thanks for the info
Awesome security measures Brady!
That’s the ultimate scope mount.
I to don’t trust store bought equipment
Including Vortex😂
Hope it works good for you.
Why do you bed the bottom rings but not the top?
It’s so sad there are hundreds of rifle buyers/ owners that have no clue how properly mount much less use the scope they have. It is not rocket science people and you do not need any expensive tools.
Could you do a follow up video to this series on how to fully bed an action?
FWIW, nail polish is almost all acetone, it's perfectly safe on your hands. My hands don't react well to mineral spirits, so I usually use diesel instead, you can wash your hands in diesel. If I use mineral spirits my hands will itch.
I wouldn’t say it’s totally safe, your skin is your largest organ. It absorbs everything and your kidneys filter it out. None of that is safe to use on bare skin. Especially diesel fuel!
What rifle vise is that? Looks nice
Thanks for watching. It's a Pattern Makers vice. Not really made directly for rifles, but works great!
