Weird question, I know. Here’s the deal… I’ve got my one and only Rem 700 (not my favorite). It’s the last of my guns that still has Talley’s and a 1” standard duplex set and forget scope. I want to update it so I’ll use it more.
I’d like to use a 2 piece pic rail and rings. It’s a SA so I’m not too worried about needing the spacing. Being a 700 receiver, I have my doubts about the holes being true. So I’m anticipating needing to do some lapping. That said, are there any particular pic rings that are easier or better to lap? I’ve lapped dozens of Talley’s and Leupold rings, never a pic ring. Any reason why they’d be any different?
