It's a measure of the civility in this country that no ones seems to fear constantly pissing off the people who own lots of guns.
Time to down Chrome on this thing. How can anyone function using IE?

However, this doesn't mean that you can't get similar precision while machining either material, it just means that with 7075, there will be more wear on your tools and you'll have to go slower.
As far as weight is concerned, the 7075 will be 1/6th the weight of 1215 steel. However this is the least of my worries as it isn't going on a backcountry lug-it-through-the-woods-for-days firearm.
To what end? The scope base is steel and the scope is aluminum if I researched correctly (SWFA SS 10x MRAD). This general rule of thumb only really applies to clamping strength (when referred to firearms use), as in, you wouldn't want to put steel rings on an aluminum scope base because the scope rings are harder and will deform the aluminum scope rail when tightened down.
Actually, I think by definition, the LT104 IS kinda EASY to slap on a bolt gun, but the objective will be 0.25” or higher above the barrel, which is not desirable on a precision firearm.
TPS TSR 7075 Aluminum = $69
TPS TSR 1215 Steel = $79
They’re both in the budget.
I think if I were to get a QD system, it wouldn’t be until I get a super nice scope to share among several guns, so I'm not seriously looking at any right now.
Ya baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Briefing constellations, their elephants, and the high-mucky-mucks they call their staff about what we're going to be doing for the next 6 months.
