Yes, just lap them and follow the directions on torque settings. I've got a set with a NF 8-32x56 on a 50 and so far they've been fine. I'm assuming you're referring to the Extreme Duty set with 4 cap screws on each ring.

I don't know if they're the extreme duty ones they're second hand on eBay not much written about them. Here is a photo.

A little digging points to them being the NF Ultralight Titanium series of rings which retail in the US for $165 USD from Optics Planet. A reasonable price if in good nick would be around the $80-100 AUD mark.

They might be pretty good then. Dunno if they'd be as good as the EGW HD rings but for half the price with NF makes on them can't be too bad.
