Cotis:
You beat me to it. Read the Intro line to the thread and was going to post something to similar effect. Some have good luck with them, but for myriad reasons, foremost being breakage from recoil alone on a set I had, I'm not a fan.
Recently I weighed a set of Talley LW and then a Leupold aluminum rail with a set of NF LW rings. The difference was pretty small, as in a couple ounces. To me it seems a small price to pay in weight for something that's easier to obtain, much tougher, and allows for optimum ring spacing for scope support.
I figure if you're going to strap the rifle to a 34mm scope, a few extra ounces for the mounting system can't be that much of a game changer.
