[QUOTE="CHRIS WILSON, post: 5130790, member: 2609"] Ive used both with no issues but I do prefer to use steel on harder recoiling rifles like my 45-70 and aluminum on lighter calibers like my 6.5 creedmoor. Steel is harder and provides better overall wear resistance especially if using detachable rings. If total rifle weight is something to be concerned about, nothing wrong with a high quality aluminum rail or better yet...titanium if cost isn't an issue. [/QUOTE]
