Basically all springers are "twangy". I agree with Blackheart about hating a "twangy" air rifle. You can spend the extra $$$ 's and have a springer tuned by one of the air gun guru's. The tune does make a difference both in accuracy and sound. You should not leave a springer cocked for very long as the spring will tend to take a set and over a long period this will affect accuracy and velocity. This was one of the reasons in my original reply that I mention the gas piston air rifles. For this type of rifle you cock it and are compressing gas (air) in a sealed piston. With the gas piston type air rifles you eliminate the "twang".
