[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1042316, member: 16938"] Aluminum rails work fine. I prefer 7000 series material over 6000. Seekins rails are aluminum and they are of reputable quality. Another one I've used that works well is the Talley rails. When talking about expansion rates, there is always a steel to aluminum transition it's your choice where it's at. Even if you're using a steel rail and rings you'll most likely attach it to an aluminum scope tube. I've used aluminum rails and rings with no problems if they are manufactured properly. [/QUOTE]
