gidday, these are lighter than my Steel QD rings, are they alright for holding me scope on me gun!?

$35 aud i think i am going to get a set an drop this Abolt weight rifle down!

just wondering if they are better than standard Tikka rings... ? or same page

TIA
 
Get the best ring you can afford. The weight of rings is very small, and not a factor. Change scope, rifle stock, remove bipod if equiped will make more sense than changing rings from steel to alu to save an ounce.
I would not consider rings at that price range on any of my rifle.

At 35 aud, I doupt very much they are genuine Leupold rings.

35 aud is $32 Canadian. Lowest I found for their rings is $34 usd -Canadian $40 on sale.
Made in the USA rings will cost more than that when hitting the Australian shores.
Low priced rings have their place on a .22 or low recoil gun. On a 30-06, get the good steel ring, specially if you hunt with it.

You do not mention which gun and caliber. On a .22 used only at thecrange you can by with cheap ring, but for any other gun, I would not consider rings at that price range. Stay with know brand.

Leupold is fairly known?

weaver style bases on a browning Abolt 30-06 currently in no brand Steel QD rings from nz origins? wanting to lose alot of weight just in the Aluminium scope rings, .... i know Tikka wre roumered to be bad but aslong as you didnt over tighten them, they were fine! :)
 
They look a bit chintzy but the price seems to be right. What’s a set of Talley lightweights go for down under?
