Default Aluminum rings?

I have had a couple of guys recommend Talley Lightweight rings lately. These are rings with a built-in base and made of aluminum. I know Mel Forbes liked them, but then he is just plain over the top when it comes to weight savings.

Talley makes good rings, but aluminum? Steel screws holding aluminum rings together. They should hold the scope well in the rings and maybe they would not scratch as much. I just wonder about the durability if they are used on a rifle with more recoil than a target/varmint cartridge.

Anyone here use them on hunting rifles?
