To be brutally honest, I've had BO and NF leave ring marks before I lapped them, I can post pictures if you like, I can also show you how much more internal surface area is now touching the tube since I lapped them. I could give 2 poops about ring marks on my scope, that's the least of my worries and IMHO funny unless you plan on turning it over and the buyer is worried about it.
I personally like more surface area touching my scope, so that when 1/2 the year is spent outside beating the piss outta it, it has less chance of moving in the rings, OR maybe it's just for my piece of mind, and makes me think I can shoot better, so that I can actually shoot better??? That doesn't even make sense, kind of like me jumping over the foul line, never touching it during a game, or taking the exact same stride to first hurdle, it's just a preconceived notion that seems to work quite well for us.
I love being the mediator on subjects like this... If you like/want to lap your 150-250.00 rings DO IT, if you don't then DON'T. I don't get upset at those who don't do it, I do what I think is best for my application. Hey, I'm sure 90% of the PRS guys don't do any of the above, but I do, and 1000's of dead coyotes can't care either way.
