[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 791065, member: 35183"] You were going to educate us all by "dropping some metallurgical facts". So the truth is you have no facts except your intuition. It doesn't sound like you have ever had to calculate a deflection, else you would not be so dismissive of "theory" particularly when you can measure it on a real sample and verify that the theory works. People, if you want rigid optical mounts - use steel. If you want to climb mountains after goats, use aluminum or of you can afford it, Titanium. But understand the compromises you are making when using "soft" materials like aluminum. Watch how the scope and rail flex like pretzels on this 50BMG rifle.
