$30 delivered to my door, could probably mount 2, maybe 3 scopes with that. Might even find it cheaper if you search around. Not sure what series Al. this is, probably 6061 (most common)...

Thanks guys ! Got 2 pcs this morning @ Transmission Supply. Point of interest / price comparison: Amazon similar size: would have been $40 ~ $50 for 2 pcs delivered to my door (no listing that size). Transmission Supply: $15.94 for 2 pcs. + a bit of driving (maybe 25 km round trip).
