So aside from using a traditional Sadlak/Springfield optic mount...
if someone was to use a sight base off of the stripper clip guide for a rear scope ring and then mount the front ring forward of the bolt - would it put too much stress on the scope itself?

If it’s a one piece mount then it shouldn’t have any issues.

But just using the SCG for rear ring independent of where the front ring is mounted seems to me a recipe for error. I DON’T know how much the receiver flexes, but it’s not zero.

My thoughts exactly.  Probably why Sage only shows pictures of red dots being mounted there.

Now to figure out which Sadlak mount to get...

The scope? More worrisome is stress on the clip guide if dropped....

Don’t do it. They’re not machined to anything remotely tight and it could put all kinds of stress on the scope.

Just do it right
