Isn't that why a scope will want to creep backwards on a conventional spring rifle? Equal and opposite reaction and all that?
Yes, and its still not a break barrel!
Forward and rear travelling pistons have recoil going both ways to a certain degree, but the scope creep you mention is due to the action shooting forward and leaving the scope behind.
