Not without seeing the TDP and doing the math to scale it
I own three of the Leupold 2-7x rimfire scopes. They are far better than average rimfire scopes........but they ain't a gold ring. Not even close.

ive got two 2x7 rimfires. Both have gold rings and are the exact same size as the 2x7 compact centerfire leupold I have. What would they possibly do to make them less durable. Use cheaper glue to hold the lenses? Ive had a 2x7 rimfire (I bought because of the different parallax setting) on my custom 475 linebaugh marlin 94. Its been on that gun for about 10 years and well over 10k of full power loads and if its cheaper made it sure hasn't showed it to me. If your claiming there built weaker or with less quality show some proof!!! Not just someone elses opinion you picked up off an internet fourm.I own three of the Leupold 2-7x rimfire scopes.

A Dakota is built to the same standards as a Ram 3500. Doesn't mean it can handle what the larger truck does.
I doubt Leupold would give any of us anything from the TDP on their optics, but it's highly unlikely they are using tube material or glass as thick as the centerfire scopes. And remember, they have different grades of centerfire scopes as well.
That doesn't mean some rimfire scopes wouldn't hold up on some centerfire rifles. But use the right tool for the right job anyway. Spring powered air rifles can wreck good quality centerfire rifle scopes; doesn't mean it was a crap scope, just that it wasn't designed to deal with forward recoil impulses.
AND, NO the Dakota will NOT haul the same heavy load that a Ram will....
