Been using the factory rings since I bought mine with zero issues. Don't over torque so no issues with screws--although they are ugly and look like they came from the bulk bin at Home Depot.
I am running a T3 SL in .308 so don't have to worry about recoil force as much as the mag guys.
Had a Viper 2-7x32 on her and went to a Viper 4-12x40 for now as I do a lot of walkabouts looking for long range rock rats, yotes, etc.
PS- I am a fan of the Talley LWs and have them on other rifles.
