Opinions on this Hawke 1 Piece droop compensating mount?

Looks like that could be a good way of stressing the scope tube.
I use FX No Limits mounts as they give a tilting action so no scope stress induced. They are available in all mount types and tube sizes.

Funnily enough the whole reason I thought this one might be good is because it wouldn't stress the tubes. Where it's a single bar for both rings that tilts, my assumption was I would avoid that issue?
I will check those out, thank you. I am hoping for a 1 piece ideally but am open minded!
I don't see any reason why it should stress the tube. It looks a bit crap though and I wouldn't use anything that could be moved by a bit of bumping or mishandling. Scope mounts need to be rock solid.
FX No Limits are pretty sturdy, and Burris rings with the MOA inserts work well too. I have a set of each of these.

I had one and sold it on here not long back.
My mate bought it for his Photon NV when using it on a bulpup rifle and he ran out of a adjustment .

Its rubber block on the end and the whole scope moves up and down as one .

I agree, it does look a little on the crap side lol. I saw the insert ones, but I didn't understand how they wouldn't stress the tubes?
What did you think of it? It looks like it should be enough adjustment, it just looks a little on the flimsy side of mounts.
Edit: It's for my HW90, which does have some kick.
Sorry, that reply was talking about the MOA inserts, not the Hawke mount.
Its fine for what it is but there is better options . The rubber ( or what ever they used ) could break down after a time or it could tear if it was caught in anything .What did you think of it? It looks like it should be enough adjustment, it just looks a little on the flimsy side of mounts.
The adjustment can be locked off with a grub screw so no issues with it turning if you bump it unless its not locked off .
I did use it on my .22lr with no issue's for a month or so until I decided if I was keeping the new scope I bought and to save buying a set of 30mm mounts that I would possibly never use if I sold the scope .
It was lying in a box doing nothing so I put it up for sale as it would never use it again and as they are discontinued some one may have been looking for one .
Thank you. That's exactly what I needed to hear. I don't suppose you have a recommendation to add to the list?
I have never used any other than the Hawke one so I cant recommend any .
Sportsmatch do some as do some others but I'm lead to believe some brands are made by one brand and badged as other brands but I cant remember what brands they are .
The way with most products these days unfortunately. Thanks again!
Just had a closer look at your original photo together with the new photo supplied by @Bighit and I see what you mean now with the single adjuster raising or lowering both rings so should be OK.
Burris rings add an MOA adjustment to one ring and subtract it from the other, so the tube is evenly held at a slope in the two rings. The tube is under no uneven stresses at all.
@Toms, what @bill57 says is correct, the other feature with the Burris Signasture Zee rings (and their replacement) is until the top ring is clamped, the inserts, which have convex outer surfaces are free to find their natural position with the concave surface of the metal cradles of the mounts so that no stress is applied when the top ring halves are clamped tight, also being plastic the inserts grip firmly but do not crimp or scuff the tube.
I find them an excellent mount and have several sets of them.

That mount just screams zero shift to me 
There is nothing wrong with a shim under rear mount loads of people have been doing it for years and many still do I've never damaged a scope by doing it its all about not swinging on the mound screws with a 20 ft long allen key
Or of course you could buy fx or eaglevision adjustable ones like mentioned above .
