I am interested as I have a "springer" now (super cheap one) and it is violent when the spring comes forward. Makes it real hard to shoot.

I hear Nitro Pistons make spring guns MUCH smoother.

I would like to pick up a Remington Vantage 500 due to the awesome price at scopes and ammmo, however, due to my experience with springers...I am not sure if I want a sprnger.

Are the more well made springers still as violent when they are fired? The round exits the barrel so slow in a airgun that the violent release of the spring seems to affect accuracy a lot.
