I guess I am old school. I was always taught that STEEL rings were needed on semi-automatic rifles. Aluminium was good enough for bolt guns. The reason being the force that the bolt is thrown back with. I recently tried a single mount aluminum base for a AR-15 from Vortex, and it seems to be fine. And an aluminum bracket and same set up on a VEPR in 7.62x54R. Both have now held zero for a 100 rounds and the VEPR even seems to hold zero attaching and detaching.
I guess old school ideas are falling by the wayside to modern materials. Rings are never are area to go cheap on.
