Need to find non-rusting base, rings, AND screws

[gearbox]

Howdy folks.
I put a Farrell base and Burris Sig Zee rings on my stainless Savage 12BVSS and found that they rust very easily. I had rust at the ring to base interface, base to receiver interface, and at every screw. So after getting home I disassembled and cleaned up what I coould.

The goal is to have a rock-solid foundation in any weather. Do aluminum bases and rings make a good platform? Which makers should I look into?

Thanks!

Hi send your existing bases and screws off to be nickle plated it should fix up the corrosian issue for you also get any screws that are not stainless done at the same time.

Gearbox,
Just put Eezox on the bases and mounts...

Wouldn't oil ruin the grip of the screws?

It just takes a small amount of Eezox put on with a q-tip. I check the every screw on the scope mounts and the action every-time I shoot to see that they are tight. Takes 2 minutes max. I shoot in wet conditions all the time and have not ever had one speck of rust with Eezox.
