Henry Golden Boy scope mount

A customer of mine wants to scope his Golden Boy 22 mag. I've started to investigate what all will be needed, can't much say I care to much for their cantilever mount, I think drilling and tapping the receiver is the way to go. I could be wrong though, so I want to ask of those who have this type of mount of how well it has held up. To me, it seems like a minor hit on the back of the scope, rifle falls or smacks up against something, that that much unsupported mount is going to bend easy or brake. What are some opinions?

IMHO===a scope is a mistake on that rifle, never was designed for one, wrong cheek to stock spacing for them, just doesn't look right.
Never had a problem, and I think it looks good (subjective I know).
Why mess up the rifle when it's already set for the proper mount?
Best of luck
Note: I was told that the receiver was hard Aluminum with plating on the .22's, not "pot metal". I'm not scratching mine to find out.
