[QUOTE="CS T, post: 239519, member: 2585"] The scope tubes are made of aluminum so if the thermally stable is an issue it affects the scope no matter if is it in steel ring or aluminum. The way I look at it is if the scope is aluminum and your rings are aluminum they will constrict and expand at the same rate. Most of my scopes I have use aluminum rings and I have no issues not to say I have issue with the steel. I also look at it like this. If the tactical rings like Nightforce or Badger get damaged by a fall most likely the scope would be damage by the fall if they were in steel or aluminum. Mike @ CSGW [/QUOTE]
