best ring alignment and lapping tools?

Post by skidooracer_99 »

im ready to invest in a set of ring allignment bars and lapping bars for both 1" and 30 mm. not really concerned about price, but looking for the best quality and user friendly product out there. i seen wheeler makes a combo kit with all those items included, and so does sinclair. what do you guys reccomend is the best to get? is there any other brands out there?

I recently bought the Wheeler kit and have mounted three scopes with it already. It has worked great so far and quality seems pretty good, but I'm sure its not the best on the market at only ~$100.

i seen brownells makes decent looking laps and they have alignment bar set with sleved sliding bars. just wonder if the bars could be used with the flats touching instead of the points? but even better looking yet seems to be a kokopelli accurising kit with their flat faced aligning bars and angle grooved lap all in a case. any experience with either of these items?
