Thread: Does anyone have a 1" scope lapping/alignment tool I can borrow?

I am mounting leupold std rings onto Mauser actions that have needed the bases to be realigned by gunsmiths. The misalignments off-centre were bad and easily noticeable with the naked eye. I believe both corrections have been done expertly, however, it would give me great piece of mind to correctly align and lap the rings as well.

In one case, I failed to correctly tension the screws and the scope slipped under recoil, leaving a mark in the scopetube. This made me suspect the rings could do with lapping.
The rest of my scope rings on other rifles are all inexpensive ones, so I’m just going to do the lot and be done with it.

If nothing else, an excuse to spend a few hours in the shed tinkering with guns while I watch C&Rsenal on YT.

Thanks for all the advice though. Hatz has offered me a good deal on a tool and that’s easier for me than sourcing materials to make one.
