Not true
You don’t want anything brittle when you we dealing with impact/recoil forces
You're dealing with shear forces here. I'll bet 80-90% of the shear forces are taken by the 4 (typically) scope base screws and the rest with the static friction between the base/epoxy bedding and the receiver. The shear forces are in the horizontal plane - please tell me how the epoxy is transferring these shear forces.
