Hi Everyone,
I'm setting up a M700 in 7RUM (details here https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/inherited-7-rum-where-to-start-wwyd.154322/ ). I'm currently stuck on what rail to put on it. I've had a reality check that isn't going to be a full on custom or even semi-custom build. Instead, I'm trying to add a few thoughtful upgrades that will hopefully help me stretch my current comfort zone (400 yards). From the research I've done, I don't think I need a rail with built in cant. I would like to keep the rail component in the $100 or less range, but open to spending more if there is a significant increase in performance commensurate to my goals (super solid, worry free rail). Or, if there is a quality product for less that is solid I would certainly be interested. What should I know about steel vs. aluminum rails? Pros and cons? Leaning towards steel since weight isn't a concern, but there are a lot more aluminum options (that I'm coming across at least). At the moment, this is at the top of my list: https://xtreme-hardcore-gear.myshop...ails/products/remington-700-long-action-0-moa (I know it is aluminum, but I've read a lot of good things and like the built in level) but I'm excited to hear some feedback from the more knowledgeable guys on this site. Thanks!
