This sounds iffy. A scope with a two piece tube is going to twang like a ruler on the end of a table when you fire it mounted like this, especially a heavy recoiling rifle. Even a one piece would be prone to failure due to flex stress. There has to be a better mount system for your application, just trying to save you some headache.
