Yes I have read the info that was posted and that was for 1-2-3 wks etc.
My question: Will there be spring loss if say out hunting and your rifle is cocked for 1-2 hrs walking or sitting or whatever. Or you are punching paper and you leave your piece sit for a bit. I mean like I go into the area of " Holy s--t is that cocked YET !! ???

An hour or so isn't a big deal. The danger there is that having left the springer cocked for a while, you forget that it is cocked. If your attention span is as short as mine, that can be, say, 5 minutes or so. It is a good habit to get into to "empty" a springer by firing it into the ground or a pellet trap every time you put it up. As for hunting situations, you can partially cock a springer enough to load a pellet without fully cocking it. Then, if you need a quick shot, all you have to do is cock the rifle.
