When I bought my tuned 80 it had a Simmons 6-24x44 on it, huge scope, but that was fine. It was on a one-piece Sportsmatch mount though.
Not saying a quality mount won't secure just that lighter scopes on springers makes sense. A heavy scope first resists movement then once it's moving wants to continue moving and has to cope with sudden and violent change in direction that's different from firearm recoil. At least the PA's were designed to cope apparently. I've always felt that heavy scopes on b/b springer is just wrong, but that's just my personal opinion/preference.
