[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 349355, member: 1007"] After having some accuracy issues lately due to mounting issues, I have been mulling over in my head what is going to work the best. First and foremost, bedding a one piece base to my receiver solved the issue I was having. I am still not convinced what works the best when it comes to which materials to use for a mounting system. It has been stated alot lately that steel and AL constrict at different rates. Since Scopes are typically AL including the ones I use and the receiver is steel sooner or later there is a transition between steel and AL. I would love to know if there is any one combination that is more reliable than the other. For example, would a AL base against a steel action and then AL rings on a AL scope work better or worse than a steel base on a steel reciever with steel rings on a AL scope. Or a steel base on a steel action with AL rings on a AL scope. Maybe I am worrying too much over thinking this?? [/QUOTE]
