Please can you enlighten us as to the 'epoxy' method of aligning scope mounts.
Thanks

Hi Tony,
It is actually simpel. You mount again the scope mounts and tight them firmly like you do with the lap bar method. But instead of lapping you make an almost precise shape of the scope down into the epoxy glue (which is put on the lower ring halfs) by pressing the scope down and hold it there until the glue begins to harden.
The area where the scope contacts the epoxy need to be covered with either a very thin layer of tape or best you could use some sort of vaseline to protect the scope from the glue.
Actually this method is very good because you make an exact copy of the scope body and some people reports that the glue holds the scope better under recoil !
I hope this helped in understandig the epoxy glue method. Else try a search on Google for this ring alignment problem.
Rgds,
