IS THIS SCOPE MOUNT MADE OFF ALUMINUM OR STEEL ????

It's aluminum and the scope I got with it would not hold zero. I should have bought the steel one and a better scope

I have however upgraded the scope due to the fact that the original one would not hold zero.

I wasn't sure so I took it to the bench grinder and it does make sparks, however it also feels kind of light to be steel. My guess would be that it's some alloy that only the company knows the recipe of. Either way it is pretty strong.

aluminum, I bought a steel mount seperatly. the mount that came with the scope was substandered to me, I had no confidence in it's stability or rilyability.

It is machined out a solid piece of billet aluminum. Contact points on receiver fit perfectly and the gross windage adjustment tightens down to abtain a solid mount. No movement even after 1000 rounds of use.

I have no idea. However, I've had mine mounted for a couple months now and it has held its zero. It seems to be made from the exact aluminum the M16A2 sights on the US Army's rifles.Hope this helps,

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 black mount itself is made of a rigid polymer. The locking screw and the alignment tab are made of metal.

I believe it is steel, that is not the weak point however, if someone wants to steal your ride. The other end of the mount can be unscrewed with a pair of pliers, even if it is locked tight. I keep a lock thru the back wheel and frame to the side of my pickup, and keep an eye on it too.

T-6 Aluminium. I use nothing but their tactical scope bases. They also make very high quality rings

Unit is aluminum. There is a rubber strip inside for shot shell retention. I find it very difficult to remove a shell from the unit. I no longer have this mounted. I ordered 3 velcro backed shot cards and am a lot happier!

Appear to be high grade aluminum. I have 12 sets of these one set on each rifle and two of the rifles are 300 winmags. Have not had any problem with them. The two main features that I look for are: 1.) four screw lock down on the scope and 2.) lock down on the rings to the rail being nuts not screws. I have installed these as said on 12 of my rifles ranging from 17HMR to 300 Winmags. Hope this answers your question.

The mount I received is machined from 7075 Aluminum bar stock. The existing stripper clip lug was removed to facilitate the rear attachment point on the sight mount. The two side receiver screws complete the mounting installation. At the range, could not get the scope to stay dialed in. The windage knob would move four to six clicks right and the elevation knob would move two to three clicks down after each shot. Sent the scope back to Aimsportsinc and upgraded. The violent action of the M1A was too much for the original scope but have had no problems with the setup in place right now. The mount is solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.

The slider is made of a light weight metal - I believe aluminum. Purchased this rail for Pentax K5. I enjoy macro photography and wanted to try out a rail slider without a huge investment. This item is pretty solid and easy to adjust. Very satisfied with purchase.

I can't answer as to the grade of Aluminum, but the scope is definitely sturdy. Everything from the box and packaging to the fit and finish screams quality. I have been shooting for years, and if you are like me, scopes tend to get beat up a bit, especially if you do a lot of tactical range work, so I wasn't going to sink a ton of money into a CQB scope. I am very very pleased with this one. Zerod at 100 yards with cheap .223 and it is right on the money at 200yds with the drop reticles. It is not a "dot" scope, but the center is illuminated.My complaint about the scope is that the eye relief is so close. Whatever you mount it on, just be sure you can get it close to your eye.

Metal tubing , not sure if it's aluminum or steel tubing . It's fairly light though I like it more than the goscope handle

The one that I bought was 1 1/4" long. Also, the bottom piece is aluminum and the thin top piece is steel, not aluminum as advertised.I bought mine for a bipod mount and it worked perfectly, stayed ontight. I decided to go with a quad rail and took it off. I'll sendyou the one I have for free if you can find a way to get me youraddress without pissing off Amazon.
