I'm aware they can be scope breakers so what mounts and scopes do you guys find is the most durable / best combination without breaking the bank ?

[The Squire]

Mine is a little unusual in that there is a weaver rail bolted through the holes where the Theoben fixed mounts locate, then obviously weaver mounts with a Hawke Airmax 4-12x50 scope. I've put a few thousand pellets through it since I purchased it in February with no problems.

Mines not got the fixed dampa mount. It's just dovetail grooves. At the minute I have a two piece mount but want to change to single piece. Some people rate the dampa mounts and I've heard othe people say it's not needed just a single piece mount is enough.

[The Squire]

If the rifle is set up right then you'll be fine with a single piece, in fact there's probably not much wrong with the set up you have.

just got fairly cheap 2 piece match mounts and a 3-12x44 mamba on mine,no problems in about 2 years so far

A "Dampa" mount sporting a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x40.
5 years on and going strong, no issues.

[FattMann]

My Grand Prix has the built in mounts so no problem there whilst my Evolution has a dampa mount, both are in .22 and no problems to report

[webranger]

The missus has two piece mounts pretty standard. Been on some years Simmons 3-9x40 scope still OK. However it is not full power as per my thread.

Mines un scoped at the moment, but had a low cost hawk 6 x 40 sat on two piece sportmatch mounts with no I'll affect. Also had my tasco 3/9 x 50 on a one piece for a while, but then she's a hardy old girl that scope. I think you'd be fine with a springer rated scope and one piece mount.
