You'll find out that using non-springer scope will not last as springer has double recoil.
Get yourself a set of Sportsmatch rings and mount the scope as per instructions with the included recoil pin and you'll be fine. If you don't, you find the scope creeping backwards and it will mar the rail on your nice German rifle.

Will that be a problem?
Fwiw 11mm is a traditional European dovetail that's also used on powder burners. Usually rimfire. My wife's Cz457 and my Tikka T1X both have 11mm dovetails. Anschutz uses 11mm dovetails as well. This is really nothing new.

I thought Dovetails to be the traditional mount long before the Picatinny Rail. I believe the Weaver mount changed all that decades ago.I have used the UTG low profile adapters, but not on a Springer. I would think you'd have just as much surface area and tension as a dovetail rings.... and they have a stop-pin.https://utahairguns.com/utg-dovetail-to-picatinny-weaver-low-snap-in-adaptor/
Pic rails are not uncommon in the airgun world.My older Crosman Genesis NP came with a Pic rail from the factory.. BUT they were notorious for being welded off center. Fortunately I got a good one.
BSF and Beeman R9 have a screw on base and remember the piston is slotted to clear screws. I think springer receivers tend to be a bit thin for reliable base mounting. Especially magnums

Depending what you put on top of them they sometimes bend the silver alignment pins and or don't grip the rail properly. Just keep an eye on them
