I notice most scopes use 6061-T6 while some promote 7075 T-6...
Leupold used this 6061_T6
I heard Schmidt & bender uses 7075 T-6
i got this from another forum :<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">"The strength is double! 40-45K on the 6061 T6 vs. 80-85K for 7075 T6. Most every property of 7075 T6 is favorable by a large margin over 6061.
7075 matches many properties of stainless steel/CM etc..."</span></span> also : <span style="font-style: italic">you could makes the wall thickness's thinner etc... to decrease weight but the biggest thing to me is the portion of the tube that the rings go on. 7075 T6 has a memory that's out of this world and very hard to dent, bend etc... Your almost getting the properties of TI at the price of Aluminum.</span>
anyone have an opinion on whether this matters?
