Lee. valve lapping compound is what is normally used, grit size depends on how much you have to take out of the rings.the other alternative is to buy 26mm rings instead of the normal 1" rings and glass bed the scopes! worked for me.

I just lapped some rings last week. I used Wheeler Engineering 220 grit. It worked fine. If you have to take off a lot of metal the 120 sounds like it would be better...
I use a scope ring reamer, I got thru Manson Precision reamers. In 15 minutes I'm done with a pair of Leupolds or Burris. Lapping takes to long. Unless you do what a friend of mine did and attached a cordless drill to his.
Well, I lapped the new Leupold super high rings for my 3-9x50 Vari-X II. I used Permatex valve grinding compound bought at a local auto parts store. Worked just fine. Time spent was about 20 minutes from beginning to clean-up. Thanks for the help fellas.
