Springer scope twang

[Oly1]

I recently tuned my springer but found that a large amount of the twang heard on firing was the internal spring of the scope.

I read that this is a spring built in scopes (particularly with AO?) to deal with the recoil from spring air rifles.

So which scopes are better/worse (bearing in mind its still got to withstands springer recoil)?

Are there any features that minimise/remove scope twang? Are side parallax scopes better?

Is there anything you can do with existing scopes to reduce twang?

Have you fired the gun without the scope on to be sure it definitely isn't the gun making the twang?

Yes, that was the first thing I did post tuning. Then the twang returned after fitting the scope

Just to confirm that scope twang is real: I have a Stoeger 3-9x40 that twangs really loud, no matter what gun I mount it on.
Its more of a "ping" than the buzz you usually get from a vibrating gun.

AO, side or fixed parallax?

Yep my weaver 15x AO does it also. Mach 1.5

Not sure what we're supposed to gain from that? I've tried to capture the noise of this on a camera phone but it's really hard to hear it from a recording.

In my experience it is mainly Hawkes, and of those most are the Varmint or Vantage, something like that, begins with a V?
Once a gun has had our bits fitted and the big noise stops, all the little noises are more apparent.

AO, and it is quite annoying.

What scopes are on top of yours (and I presume they don't twang)?

I have a couple of Smmons 1.5-5 x 20's, a couple of Hawke Airmax 2-7 x 32's and various redfield revolutions and Leupolds.

That and a very noisy "laser"

I have s vortex so that does it .

Had both Nikko Sterling and Hawke scopes that did this, it's the AO spring buddy...

That's what I'd read, so it doesn't happen on the SF models?
