It would seem so, at least with that rifle! Real Weaver mounts are plenty strong! My objection to them is with the ring screws only on one side, it is difficult to tighten them down without the scope rotating as the ring snugs down. This makes it a real challenge trying to keep your reticle level when using these rings. Actually, it's a pain!!

I'm with you on the Millett rings. They're a lot easier to install and adjust properly, and are also very strong! Plus being better looking than Weaver rings.
