100% Agreed. I as well lap my rings as well use an aligner. I as well use a LED Matco Torque wrench to set all my rings and bases in in/lbs to be exact with manuf specs. But that is more than most people are either going to do or know about. I try to keep it simple first then if needed go into a more indepth process if asked or needed.
