Scope rail mounting system

It seems to me the European style rail mounting system is much simpler and more reliable then the bases and rings arrangement.

Why do we not see more of this and who if anyone makes equipment to mount a rail style scope onto an American made rifle?

Swarowski is rumoured to make mounts for their "SR" (rail equipped) scope series, which attach to Weaver bases. Cabelas used to carry, them, but I can no longer find this item on their website.

EAW is always an excellent source for mounts - great quality, although prices will likely be higher than what you are used to in the US.
