Are the rings constructed from Aluminum or Steel? The descriptions says both. The last sentence says they are available in either.

I believe the straps that go over the scope are steel but the mounts themselves are aluminum just like the rail that came with my 10/22. I don't have the gun in front of me but I'm pretty sure this is the case. hence the confusion in the description

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

The top straps are steel. the base is an aluminum casting or some type of pot metal. I confirmed this by testing with a magnet. Good luck -Kevin

The ones I got are steel. When I ordered I didn't notice that they were available in aluminum too

They are made from lightweight metal ... I Love them... Great quality and price.

I think there is both steel and aluminum. The white is plastic. The softer metal will bend, I can attest to that.

These are made of "silicone rubber" which is a synthetic rubber that is much more durable than ordinary rubber. The rings are high quality but much thinner than the original ones on my jars. You may need to put on two to make the same thickness, or adjust (bend) the metal bands to tighten properly with the thinner rings.

These are stainless steel. Originally I purchased aluminum and had to discard them.

they are steel I believe, I am sure they are not aluminum. they are very sturdy and fit well. I weigh around 280 and I think they work great.

You need steel rings AND a steel scope rail. You dont want any aluminum. It starts to shear with high recoil loads. I ruined an aluminum base in 10 shots on my .500 handi rifle, which is similar in recoil to a hot 12 gauge slug.

I'm not sure the kit says specifically, but based on the weight and malleability I'd assume they are aluminum.

They are made of metal. We are very happy with ours they are sturdy and look very nice. In fact I am ordering more.

As of 6/15/15 - they no longer come with a ring. You get a chain (not for permanent use) and a silicone removable holder. I just received them, so I don't know how long that will hold up, but I suspect not long. I'm going to search for a SS ring.

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.

I'm quite sure the pans are cast aluminum, nice and thick, coated with a ceramic coating. I don't think there's another kind of metal in them. I totally love my pans and they wear very well.

They are all metal The body is a chromed alloy looks casted whith the edges made from a bent single piece of a steel alloy. I have been using them almost every day for an hour and they are performing flawlessly.

Mine are Tuff's. I was pleasantly surprised by there construction of cast aluminum. I have 6 mounted right now. 2 on an ATV and 4 on one of my tractors. I have a day job so these really do well for my night farming.

I don't know what kind of metal they are. I purchased the less expensive and they were very lightweight and bent. These are strong.
