    Good stuff- No, except some very particular users.
    Not good stuff- Maybe to yes. But if you're buying that stuff, it's probably not going to matter to you anyway.

    There's so much left over Fudd shit from 1950. If you are buying quality material, it's a waste of time.
    Sorry I'll pay attention more.

    I have never done it and I have never seen any scoped marred or eaten up due to imperfections in rings and I over tight my rings on average. If you bought mediocre rings, do it only if your handy and don't over do it.

    Back in the day I bought a lapping bar to do this with rings that twisted into the base, so I could get them straight before dropping the scope in. Hunting-type bolt guns. I lapped a few rings because I had it. I haven’t bothered in about a decade and a half, but I’m no Molon.

    I’m not convinced that it is necessary today.
