Scope mount for octagon barrel

[Skipper_52]

Can't find the traditional sights I need to fit these oversize dovetails and I'm wondered if I could mount an extra scope I had laying around with magnets. I had this extra scope 3-9x laying around and decided to try it. The mount is 3d printed. I have inserted different magnets 1x1/2x1/8" with a pull force of 14lbs each giving the mount 84 lbs of pull. Snug as a biug.

This can work I have done so myself. You will have to have a solid stop on your mount. It will move forward with each shot.
