A spring powered air rifle recoils both ways (backwards and forwards) in very short succession, because of the mass of the spring and piston moving inside the rifle. This can wreak havoc on a scope not designed to take this type of stress.
A PCP (pre-compressed pneumatic - i.e., compressed air) or CO2 rifle does not have this same kind of two way recoil and is much easier on scopes.
