The alignment bars make it easy to track your progress once you've started. Take some time to see how the points come together properly; for me it it was a matter of getting the right angle to see the point. Once you get a look at how the points should align, then it makes it easier to know when you are done.The lapping bar is nice and sturdy and that lets you get a good rhythm going. I put a piece of painters tape around the handle to keep from dinging the scope rings.This is a great product to ensure your scope sits properly in the rings to give the most accuracy possible.

Simple product, that works well. Personally, I would not mount a scope without one of these kits. Even though I carefully aligned my rings, I had to take off a fair bit to get them concentric. Happy with the results, and I can't imagine it is going to wear out any time soon. It is worth getting the kit so you can do both 1 inch and 30mm scopes in future if you have a few guns – or to help out your mates.

It works exactly as advertised which is what I expect from Wheeler. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because it came in a cardboard box and not a hard sided case which the rest of my Wheeler tools come in. The tools themselves are top notch and straight forward to use.

Decent kit for lapping and aligning scope rings. I haven’t had any marked or creased scope tubes since I started using these lapping kits. I wouldn’t say all the components in the kit are of high quality but it is adequate for the job.

Having bought a 1” Wheeler honing kit before through Optics Planet before, I had no doubt their service would be great. The 34” bar performed as expected. There’s two good reasons why you should hone your scope mounts. Firstly, the factory mounting surface probably will only contact the scope at the edge/s of the mount. This could result in your screws loosening over time. Secondly, achieving a 70% mating to the scope greatly increases holding strength with the recommended torque. Too much torque will crush your scope tube!

The Wheeler scope alignment and lapping kit is a must have for properly mounting optics. It will quickly smooth out the interior of the rings so that you maintain an even and solid mounting surface for your scope. Also once lapped, the ring no longer mar the exterior finish of the scope.Pros: Easy to use and works flawlesslyCons: The overall kit is heavy if you take to the range
