When it comes to scope rings and bases, is one better than the other?
Is there a reason to go steel over aluminum? Are there issues with aluminum? Been reading other threads on options. Seen suggestions for EGW, Seekins, Badger, TPS, etc etc. Some only make aluminum, some only steel, and some make both. Most suggestions seem to be whatever the poster has or likes. (which is normal) I have yet to see a thread to address why choose one over the other. Seen post with people stating get xyz aluminum brand, they are "just as good" steel. Looking for rings and base for a Remington 700 SA 308. Main use will be for target shooting and some limited hunting. |

It's not about steel vs aluminum but quality vs cheap. A quality aluminum base and rings like Seekins are much better than a cheap set of steel.
You can save weight with aluminum over steel but a quality set of either will work fine. I have used both over the years in Badger Ordnance steel and Seekins Precision aluminum. Never an issue with either on my match rifles. So buy quality and you don't have to worry. |

I’m using Seekins Precision 20moa base & 30mm rings. Very happy with the set up have close to 1000rd of 308 through the barrel.
