Hello Jamie
When i got my Superten from Sandwell, the guy there likes to re lube the bolt which made it much smoother. After Mr Bowkett had fettled it then it was even smoother.
You dont have to turn the bolt down after pulling it back but its a useful check to make sure it came back far enough. I never bother too any more.
(Edit - I checked this with BSA. The back slot is more to aid magazine removal and to make sure you pulled the bolt back far enough.
Thats because of the deadlock gismo which is incase the bolt slips out of your hand when cocking it preventing the gun from going off half cocked so to speak)
As the others said the multishot is a advantageous when hunting at night.
Its also useful in the daylight when so little movement is required to reload that you can sometimes get a second rabbit feeding near the first.
Out of curiousity what pellets does it prefer ?
