Sportsman900 can be stored with pumps in it.

I searched this and asked some people here and it wasn't readily available info but I got lucky fiddling just now.

Pull the lever back till you first feel hammer spring resistance, hold it there and add a pump or two and ease the bolt back forward. 

...It was news to me anyways...

 Wow , I never really "stored" my 900 it sits in the shooting bench area and gets cycled often enough. but good tip if I should park it for awhile.

No Prob.  Any suggestions on what pellet anyones like would be welcome.  So far I am having best groups with HN sniper mediums.  But I don't use em anywhere else so supplies here are limited.

 I am not much help in the pellet suggestions , to this point I am still shooting the original winnie domes that I have a stash of.
