What is a Spring Air Rifle
A spring powered airsoft rifle uses a spring that is compressed manually by the shooter in preparation for each shot. The spring is compressed by pulling back on a cocking lever of some form, and then it is held in place by a trigger sear. When the shooter pulls the trigger, the spring is released and pushes a piston into a cylinder, creating high pressure air. The air is used to shoot the BB out of the rifle.

Many sniper rifles are spring powered airsoft rifles for this reason. If you experiencespring air rifle accuracy problems, it is always mostly related to a dirty inner barrel or a malfunctioning or misaligned hop-up unit or bucking that is spinning the BB off-axis, causing it to veer off its intended path.

Are Spring Rifles More or Less Expensive than Other Spring Rifles?
Spring rifles are generally quite affordable given their simpler designs, especially for spring powered modern military rifles which are designed for beginners. But many small specialty manufacturers choose to make some classic and historic rifles in spring powered format as well, and these can be quite expensive due to their rarity and collectible value. And these can be more expensive than electric or gas rifles.
