Winchester 2-7 x 32 AO "Air Rifle" Scope

<< < (4/4)

splitbeing:
I sometimes am tempted by the 135. Is the barrel short enough to cock the rifle 180 degrees from the usual with a break barrel? In othe words, when seated with the butt on the thigh can you break the barrel in a "choo choo" motion rather than flipped the other way as usual and using a swim stroke motion?

I'm 6'6" tall and I have really long arms so cocking the 135 is not too challenging.  The mod 95 in that picture is a big air rifle.  The mod 135 is a feakin huge air rifle!  So stature is important.  Seated I can cock the gun with one arm with the butt resting on the bench between my legs.  Standing I have to cock the gun two handed with the butt resting on my thigh.  In that position the cocking effort is a breast stroke motion pulling down hard with both arms.

Gotcha. Two handed breast stroke beast of a gun.  I think about my spring guns in exercise terms sometimes.

Since the 460 is now down, I've put the winchester on my k98. Never scoped this gun before. Man is it a shooter. James has posted that his shoots as accurate as a pcp.  At 50 ft with the winchester, my k98 is also as accurate as my akela or urban, which are my most accurate pcps.  The akela is also down, but but that's ok as I'm not really a bullpup guy. Searching for an oring leak has been a pain.  I prefer springers, perhaps.
