    Anybody use these? I cant find any reviews for them. Have a 35mm tube scope getting moved to a long range hunting rifle and the equivalent size for the TPS steel rings I have are 9.75ozs vs the 4.2 ozs of the Warne. Would like the weight savings if they are solid. They will get knocked around a lot.
     
    I've used the mountain tech rings for a bit. I like them and have no reservations on recommending them for any application. I think you'll be pleased with these rings.

    Awesome - thanks! Ill be picking up a pair. Was pleasantly surprised when I sent Warne an email asking their weight (they only have the weights for the 30 and 34mm posted on their website), and got a reply in less than a minute.
     
    Leupold Backcountry are also an available light weight option. They're working great for me. 3.6oz

    Thanks I hadnt seen those. When I first got the 35mm tube maybe 13 years ago, TPS were the only ones making them it seemed. Nice to have options now-
     
    I have been using some 34mm Mountain Techs for more than a year with a 5.5-25x56mm Nightforce. With a side-by-side comparison to Nightforce's they appear to be same/same but different.

    MTs top, NF bottom. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, right?
