If it's in reference to the 1/2rings/saddle rings being soldered to the scope tube, they are done before the scope is assembled. Then the tube w/rings is rust blued. Then final assembled.,

There is no problem with simply soldering the bases themselves to an action or bbl (soft solder). Keeping perfect allaignment during the process is tough w/o the benefit of the common screw attachments.
