Tikka T3 factory rings?

I have on order a 338 Federal Tikka T3. The gun comes with a set of rings that mount to a grooved receiver like most .22 rifles. Has anyone had any experience with these rings? The gun is drilled and tapped from the factory for optional Weaver style bases.
I was thinking about using Weaver bases and steel rings instead of the alloy factory ones, but if the factory rings hold up, I'll use them.
Any info/insight much appreciated. Don

You might want the seller to guarantee a fitting ring set with your purchase, given the scope you intend to use.
edit: My beef with them about the rings was that on what is obviously going to be a varmint shooter 223, why put rings in the box that won't work with 80% of the varmint type scopes with their large objectives.
It may have just been the scope that I used, but I ended up having to tighten the ring screws tighter than recommended to keep the scope from "walking". Also, if you plan on using a scope with a bell diameter greater than 44mm the rings will probably be too low.
