Not necessarily. Many of the modern scopes are manufactured with brass
mechanisms. Brass is easily machined and is a very stable material
dimensionaly of a broad temperature range. This is important where the
scope may be used for accurate measurment work. Although they may not
appear to be made of brass this is only because they apply chrome plating
and black paint to them for packing purposes only. Under the fancy
paint and plating they are still brass for the most part.
