Must admit, the first few times I tried TXs at The Bash I also found them fiddly to load (especially in .177 and with monster scopes fitted) and the bear trap also to be annoying. Some also were reluctant to set their safeties if not cocked with authority.

I don't have a big scope on mine, so no loading issues. And I just got into the habit of holding the ABT button in when cocking and, obviously, returning the lever. It just becomes second nature after a while. Keeping the safety bar oiled keeps it snicking in and out sweetly.
