Webley Eclipse Scope Mounts

[theboycalledleaf 1]

Hi,

 

I recently bought an old and tired Eclipse from a colleague.

It was in original condition and came with a blurry fixed zoom BSA period scope with a medium one piece mount.

I've sourced a newer Nikko Stirling scope for it which comes with high mounts to accommodate the 50mm objective lens.

I know the cylinder is alloy, my question is, would i be stupid to fit the two piece mounts carefully or should i source a one piece high mount to spread the load around the delicate cylinder.

Any advice gratefully received.

 

Cheers
