I make sure the actions dove-tails are as clean as can be with earbuds and carb / brake cleaner, then fit a one-piece mount 1/4 turn more than tight-enough.
If you mount a 50mm scope on high mounts (observed current real life local fasion) :
A: Theres a lot of mass in a 50mm scope = large energy store
+
B: High up = long 'lever'.
=
C: Upset = you and your rifle.

A big scope may provide 'static' out-fit balance, but 'lead in it's tail' weighs Less and has a single moment of inertia... something to think about!

Low mass 40mm objective scopes lower down (medium / low depending) seem to 'quell' the recoil cycle of 'most' of the springers I've shot Without tuning the the shot-cycle to a barrels favourite lead.
