I just purchased a 700 308 and been looking at optic mounting options. Is badger steel bases and rings that much better than EGW aluminum? Pros and cons of either?

Thanks
 
Re: Bases and rings

Anything Badger Ord is top notch, so you really can't go wrong with them.

I'm not familiar with EGW.

Alloy would be a lot lighter than steel keep in mind if you're lugging your shit around for extended periods. YMMV
