Lapping "High end" scope rings?

Wheeler has convinced folks this is in alignment.

The odds of the two rings being off the same amount and in opposite directions is low

And even if it were the case it would only show "aligned" in one location between the rings--sliding the pointed bars fore and aft would discover this

that kind of alignment could also come from the rail or receiver, not just the rings. But you are correct, sliding the bars fore and aft would show it. But TBH it had never occurred to me until now that I need to slide them for and aft to check for this.

It’s rarely a matter of the rings. Mass produced, inexpensive factory receivers with poor QC. I don’t care if you use the finest rings in the world, they ain’t gonna fix mis aligned screw holes.

I had to dig one out of the freezer that is kept for banana bread.

Frankly I have not either
I am roughly as worried about it as I am about my lugnuts getting anti-seize (not at all)
