I've got a Hawke Airmax mounted using Dampamounts on a gas rammed Lightning, 5 or 6 years trouble free service on a pretty jumpy little gun with a reputation for wrecking scopes.

As Oliver says, your best bet is a Dampamount from Sportsmatch. Not cheap but this means that you can mount practically any scope on the gun without fear of it being destroyed.
However a 52 should not be as bad as a 54 in terms of scope damage, but it will still kick some in FAC spec.
