    It all depends on the size of the lever . A short barrel on a hw99 is going to be harder to cocktail than a standard length one.

    Try coking the break barrel you have now but hold it at different bits on the barrel each time.

    My evolution is not as short as a fenman so I would expect the evolution to be easier than a fenman at the same pressure in the rams . Or springs in springers.

    Good point, as far as break barrels go, the Fenman's got to up there with one of the hardest break barrel airguns to cock !

    Certainly at Sub 12 !

    58 seconds to 1 minute 5 seconds - cocking action, small slot etc. All in the space of 7 seconds.

    I have a Sub 12 .177 Evo which is fine cocking wise and not as harsh as my .22 Fenmans but I really like 'em non the less !

    I'd really like a .20 Fenman but so far that rifle has eluded me !

    Petite, though she may be, she's got arms, shoulders and a back like Garth.
    Does she do a spot of scaffolding as a day job?

    Still not used my .22 EVO much. One field I shoot is airgun only but it's full of barley at present . So my .22lr gets used more at the farm. The fields at the farm are too open for the airgun other than lamping but I have not been lamping for ages.

    Still got my hw99s in bits for tuning and the stock to refinish.

    I did feel the EVO was a pain to cock if using for a while but out hunting will use less shots than targets I dare say..

    I use my 7" barreled Fenman twice a week for a minimum of 200 shots a time. I have never had much of an issue except some vagina ache when I first got it.

    Maybe the first 10% with the sound turned off. Then I lost interest. To be fair, I've never watched an airgun related video all the way through in my life

    My hw95k never had a springer easy to cock as this,very smooth and hardly any effort is needed,good thing or bad thing i dont know ?. My other springer hw99s is much harder to cock,rather stiff but smooth at same time.

    Anyone who struggles with a sub 12lbft rifle probably ought to eat more weetabix. 😂
    Ha Ha I like it
    I was watching that video on the TV full screen when er in doors sat down and said she is engaged lol.

    Anyway I agree that unless you have a health problem all UK limit springers should be easy, I laugh when some say that the AA HC is hard to cock
