[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 2578997, member: 40852"] I don't know how this fits in but it seems some less expensive rails are made by extruding the basic shape and then slots are cut. These can can end up with a warp or bowed shape which doesnt do the scope any favors. Another cost cutting measure are rails made out of 6061 aluminum which has less strength and is easier to machine. 7075 aluminum is stronger but will be more expensive [/QUOTE]
