[QUOTE="230grRN, post: 808441, member: 37509"] It's going to come down to personal preference, if you want to save some weight go with the aluminum. As far as bedding it goes it only really needs to be done if you trial fit to the reciever and you can see that the rail is flexing while tighten the screws. Some fit really well and others not so much, get one of the not so much ones and there will be no point to using quality rings, because they won't be level with each other anyway. This is caused because the front and rear bridge of the Remmys aren't on the same plane and the odds of getting a rail to fit perfectly due to this isn't to great. Bedding will fix the issue and if you use quality rings they will be in alignment with each other, and will likely require little or no lapping. [/QUOTE]
