Sorry for the delay... Betty Lou decided she wanted to go out for breakfast.Well, I opened the trigger group back up (I'm getting good at it) and took a good long study.After pondering my options and considering how many times I would have to open/close it to get just the right setting, I decided to leave well enough alone. The 1st travel gives me that 2 stage affect and, although it would be nice to have a little less travel, it's a nice stop and predictable snap to the break. The gritty feel is all gone and I like it just fine. I don't have a trigger pull tester but, if I had to guess, it's better than half what it was out of the box.In the picture below you can see the over size, yet lighter wire size spring. (circled in red) The molded ribs in the frame 'trap' that spring and hold it in place without binding. The only other thing I did was stone and lube the contact points.... moly for contact point and some red grease in the pivot points.

The last thing I need to address is the trigger. By the way, I suppose there is not way to reduce the cocking effort? My experience for some time now as been PCP's and CO2 guns.

My experience for some time now as been PCP's and CO2 guns.Yes, assuming you mean cocking effort as in pulling the bolt back as opposed to the effort it takes to pump the gun up..You can reduce the cocking of the bolt by reducing the hammer spring tension. That would be done by putting a lighter hammer spring in the gun. The problem there is, with the lighter spring, the gun may not dump all 8 pumps. Proper lubing goes a long way for making things much smoother and easier.
OK numbers people.... the moment you've been waiting for...Remember.. this is an 18" .177 barrelFirst 4 shots is 5 pumps with 10.49 H&N hunters. Just look at the consistency of shot 2 3 and 4.... WOW !!5 through 8 is at 8 pumps.
