[QUOTE="brentc, post: 2117493, member: 16938"] I've never had a problem using quality aluminum bases and rings. There are many who advocate for the use of steel on steel due to coefficient of expansion differences between steel and aluminum. I say it's a non issue. Even if you use steel mounts, at some point in the system you'll have to deal with the steel to aluminum transition unless your scope has a steel tube. But honestly, it's nothing to worry about.
