I think I have figured out a way to cock this gun a lot easier , use your thumb behind the receiver where the round part goes into the stock , at the same time pull the bolt back over the top with 2 fingers if possible.... this technic makes the probe shaft float more so there is no stiction or binding ,and allows the extra pushing force from your thumb to help as your fingers are pulling back ... better leverage with this technic makes it feel almost half as hard as doing it the other way ... hope this helps some of you guy's out , and it makes it more enjoyable to shoot your challenger .357 ...

That method should work very well---that is how I cock my QB-based guns. You are basically just squeezing your 2 fingers closed like when making a fist, makes great leverage. Will work the same for the rifle or the bullpup.
To my list of stupid things not to do add: do not shoot your Chrony in the face with your .357. In the market for another Chrony now
The beauty of owning a Pro Chrono. They repair it for 50% of new cost. Shot mine twice last year
anyone know the twist rate on the 357 or 30?
