It's genuinely such a smooth, easy mechanism if you do it quickly in one motion. It all comes down to TECHNIQUE at the end of it. I am not immensely strong nor big but I genuinely think it would take double the cocking effort on the TX200 HC till I'd start to complain.
I didn't say it was impossible, just that it was hard work. I have, and do use underlevers for hunting, but if I'm doing the full tour its a break barrel every time.

As for the cocking effort on HC's being high.... Ha! A two year old girl could cock it! You ought to try a Fenman!
