Quality rifle to look at and build quality seem good, but totally impractical at that lb.ft if you ask me. At the time I was shown a replacement F.A.C spring for the rifle. It was knocking on for twice the length as a standard jobbie.
Interesting experience, but not a rifle I'd change a .22" rimmie for.

That is an awful lot more power than mine running at 28 ft lb-and for what? It sounds like nothing but grief.
In a self contained rifle 6 ft lb more-or 21% more-power than mine means one thing: a bigger more powerful spring which twangs like the devil shouting for more sinners to feed the furnace. My conclusion is the same as yours-that your rifle was running way beyond its limits and that the spring should be changed.
