7075 Scope mounts for AR

[YetterIsBetter]

What is the cheapest good 7075 scope mount out there? From what I can see it would have to be Nightforce's unimounts. Even those are $260. IS that really the cheapest good one?

Is 7075 really that much better than 6061? I've found some decent 6061 mounts from primary arms that are only $100

You’ll see no difference over 6061.

You’ll see no difference over 6061.

SO why do people spend $350+ for SPUHR, Scalarworks mounts?

Because they look great for coffee table pictures.

I have a Seekins Precision MXM mount on one of my rifles and it's a great mount, they are 7075 T-6 and & $200.00 as above don't think 7075 or 6061 really matters that much, or you could just get a pair of Seekins rings a little cheaper than the mount and they make really nice stuff.

I have both, and they shoot the same.

Because Spuhr mounts look hardcore.
That and you can bolt a bunch of crap on to them if need be.

Just use a 6061 it'll be fine.
