Are there any problems using steel rings with aluminum bases? Or vice versa?

Not really, as long as they are both of decent quality and compatable style.
You may see a slight deterioration of the surface finish over a few years of the two components where they contact each other, due to electrolytic/ galvanic corrosion, but it should be minor if it occurs at all. Edited by RONK - May/29/2008 at 20:46 |

Thanks Ronk. They are steel Millett rings and Weaver (Weaver brand) mounts.

Personally, I would stick with the same metal for the reasons above, especially if you will be shooting in an area where you will be exposed to some salty air. |
