steel. awesome scope and little setup time. I do recommend a chamber lazer to help align scope.

Hello Carol, My limited experience with the scope so far has been great, but I'm using it on an AR hunting rifle. It works really well as advertised. I would consider it fine for use on either the M1A or 700 tactical applications with no expected issues. My only recommendation would be to to order replacement BDC elevation dials for your specific or favorite 308 Win/7.62 NATO loads. The AR scope typically comes with the .223/5.56 dial calibration. You can order replacement dials from Leupold's Custom Shop, I got one for my 6.8 SPC hunting load. Hope this helps!

Rings are aluminum 30mm with 3 hex screws. Very stable, steel would be better but if you're worried about aluminum vs steel you should be getting an Leopold. Very clear reticle, sharp focus, excellent mill adjustment.. not a leopold or swarovski but a 3rd the price & worth it.

It looks like aluminum, or could be a very light weight stainless steel. The surface does not attract a magnet. It is not a shiny metal, except for the ring around the lens area. I don't know if this answers your question, but hope it will be helpful. Bar Con

I don't know if I'm qualified to say whether or not this is a good scope specifically for the M1A. It is a very well made scope and I am very satisfied with it. It has a wide range of eye relief, making it quick and easy to get a clear sight picture.

So far the answers I see are partially right. The main parts are aluminum, while most of the hardware type parts (the front sight post, the screw, springs and pins) are steel. I just checked with a magnet, which slid towards portions of the sight where a steel part passes through.

It's metal. I used it on my black power rifle. I had to futz around with the front to get it to fit. I think I used the original front base and the new top sight.

The felt weight of the scope is negligible, I believe the actual weight will depend greatly on the rings or mount you choose. I went with billet aluminum anodized and I think the total added weight to the AR I put it on was 23oz

The scope housing is made from aluminum. It's a bit heavy because there is a glass prism inside allowing for better optics and a more compact design.

I believe it is theMetalTac M4/M16 300 Round Hi-Cap AEG Airsoft MagazinePut that into the amazon search and it should bring it up. I think that is the one I got!

I am almost positive it's aluminum. But I do not have it in my hand to confirm. It is very precisely made and well coated black. It also comes with a separate steel washer to sit flush against the barrel. I sent a few hundred rounds down range through it and it does not come loose. Just remember this is for the thicker bull barrel for smooth, flush look (or it will extend outside the diameter of the regular barrel).

The rings I received were Aluminum. FYI when you install them use a thread locking agent and torque the screws down. There is a great video on Your tube of a guy installing these on a 10/22 and he suggests the torque value. When I had initially put them on I did not use thread locker and within 500 rounds the screws loosened up and caused the scope to move around thus being out of calibration at 100 yards. When I installed Loctite blue and torques them down I had much better success

This probably won't fit but look at http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Arms-Gear-Insignias-Springfield/dp/B008UAQ06A#customerReviews . There may be others but look for the M1 explicitly. There are some that can be mounted and trimmed to fit. Good luck.

It appears to be a composite material. I own a 22 cal, a.380 and a 9mm models. They are rugged and perform flawlessly. Many shooters use them.

The bayonet mount itself is a nonferrous metal, aluminum I suspect. There is a plastic ring around the inside of the mount, but I don't think it has anything to do with the mount itself.
