I have several PCP's but not a single Springer. I might get 1 before too long, (still doing homework).
My question is this: What are some decent quality FFP AO scopes up to a max of say x25, that will hold up to the recoil forces on a Springer? I am NOT putting any of my fairly high $$ (at least to me anyway) scopes on it just to the rifle thrash it in a short amount of time. Thanx guys.

Athlon midas tac 6-24X50 on my prosport at 14.910fpe and it works fine. I've also used Sightron scopes, work fine as well.
Whatever you buy it should have a lifetime warranty in case something happens.

Athlon, I never seem to remember that brands name until I see it 😅
But I've read very good stuff about them.

Currently using Hawke frontier 30 on my HW97.177 really nice no issues.
Helix line from element are also great on springers in my experiences.
On the less expensive end the SWFA fixed 16X or 20X all have held up on my HW97 in .22 for the past 7 years. One piece mount dampa 60 sportsmatch is what people use but again I use the RWS on piece for $10 and no issues.

Hawke scopes are, in general, excellent all around but especially for springers. Beware that the price attractive Vantage scopes are designed for springers with less than 12 fpe. Airmax scope are great, but my go to, the Hawke 4-16 x 44 (30mm) is very pricey right now ($480). It was about half that price in the day. Athlon is my go to now, with a lifetime warranty, nice glass with functional reticules, and attractive prices.

All great feedback and good options. I have a Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50 on my 97 for now several years and thousands of pellets later. Never a single issue.
