    You'd have to get it pretty hot, I suspect giving it hundies with a heat gun couldn't possibly damage it. What's the annealing temp of staino

    Heat it up, beat the shit out of it with a hammer, it'll come off. A couple of good decent knocks directly on the top should help.

    Attach some beefy rings and scope... something sturdy like a nightforce and get an assistant to hold it muzzle up with the butt on the ground.
    A couple of good swings of a bit of 4x2 about 1200 long down onto the objective bell of the scope should pop that rail off no problems

    I take it you are tapping it towards the recoil pad not the muzzle?

    A short bit of alloy flat bar used as a punch will let you give it a decent twat without denting stuff.

    Another option, is chuck rifle in the deep freeze over night, as a lot of glues and resins, become brittle with cold,

    Sorta looks like the rail is over the tapered dovetail as well?. Have you tried tapping it backwards?
