Thanks for the replies both.
Yes the cocking procedure is a little long winded but once zeroed I tend to hunt and therefore shot numbers reduce, and double check accuracy before a session so I guess I'm not putting the amount of shooting in with it that someone would at a club range.
I'm very taken with the gun and I'm quite tickled it throws big lumps of lead downrange for practically no recoil. It almost feels wrong.
I'm getting more used to the trajectory and gaining confidence but will still keep the range pretty short.
I've tracked down the playground of one of the few remaining grey squirrels on my shoot and the clock is ticking for a can of whup ass to be opened up on him with this gun.
It would be surreal taking my old Firebird 52 out for a session alongside this one and experience recoil from a very similar gun.
