I'm installing a new scope using Warne Maxima rings.  Their tolerances are supposed to be good but still wondering if I should lap them.  What say ye..?

No.

And it may void the warranty.

Normally I tell people to put the scope tube in the bottom ring halves and if it binds..., but you have no bottom ring halves.

No, don't lap. If there is a problem, fix it otherwise.

Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

Thanks RC.   I haven't considered the warranty.  But you're right, no bottom halves.
