[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 529768, member: 4191"] This is starting to sound like Voodoo. Most of my rings are located right over the top of where the scope rail screws to the receiver. So the distance between the scope rings on the scope tube is the same as the distance on the scope rail, which is where the scope rail is fastened to the receiver. Differential expansion or contraction of the receiver will only act differentially on the scope rail where it's bolted to the receiver. They're all the same distance apart, and any differential expansion or contraction will be acting over the same distance. The distance that the scope rail extends past the scope base screws, or the scope bases, doesn't even come into play. Other than concern about the cosmetics of steel leaving a mark on aluminum, the rest of this discussion is largely witchcraft. [/QUOTE]
