    Rifle Scopes Scope rails for bolt action .308s

    Hello all, I apologize if this was asked already... Pretty sure it has but can't find it using search function. For a .308 bolt gun, is there a need for steel scope rails or is 7075 aluminum rails sufficient enough strength wise for a range/bench gun? Thanks.

Now that it's here it's waiting to be completed which will unfortunately have to be piecemeal, but it's a start! Ultimately it's going to be a .308, with a Bartlein barrel, in either a manners...
