Crossfire.
The Vantage got already killed on my HW50s...
If it needs to be Hawke, then go Airmax. That one is springer rated by Hawke.

The Vantage line of scopes is only rated for spring piston air rifles 12fpe or less and several here have told you that part before.
The Vortex Crossfire line I have no experience with and your absolute safest bet is to write to Vortex Optics and ask if they're rated for magnum springer use.

I emailed Vortex Optics myself after I posted the reply above to ask which of their scopes would handle even the hardcore Ultra magnum springers shooting 20-30fpe.
Got their answer this morning which was:
"You bet! We've tested those on everything and anything from air rifles to 50bmgs. As long as they're paired with a quality set of rings which are torqued to spec and then not shooting out or a lead sled or other recoil capturing devices. You're all set!"
Depending on what kind of rifles your friends are shooting, it would appear Vortex scopes and good rings or a one piece mount will handle the recoil from them.

I have a Vortex with mildots on my 56th. The one thing I don't like is there are no mildots above the cross hair.
