I don't know, it looks like the base is not secured at the back end. I wouldn't think a scope would flex to the point of being visable.

Doesn't seem right.

I agree soren, the rear does not look fully secure.

Not only that but....
The rifle get's floppy too. See animation here:
FEA Barrel Pressure Analysis on a 6PPC Rifle Barrel

Keep in mind that this movement is amplified 1000x. Because of this exaggeration, his scope is shown hitting the barrel... but looking at the video of the riflescope flexing, this guy's animation seems to be very accurate.

Oh it's right. That video shows the massive amount of stress that is impacted on the scope and mounting system when a 50 BMG is fired
