New S&B 12x50-56 with Barrett rings should I lap them?

I am the proud owner of a shinny new very expensive S&B 12x50-56 scope it was a gift and came with Barrett 34mm rings. I have it at my gunsmiths now and am wondering should I ask him to lap the rings? He said he has no 34mm lapping bar but I could get him one and wait. I have no idea if this is worth it or not so I figured someone here would have an opinion. While I have a few guns that cost 3k+ a scope in this price range has always scared me since there is glass in there. So since I am a new overly worried parent of this super pricy scope I want to do what is absolutely correct with it. Thanks for any thoughts. PGG
 
Why don't you get him to put the rings on the base and check to see if they even need to be lapped first. Quality rings on a quality base shouldn't need to be unless your action is slightly out.
