That's quite a snazzy looking chooter you have there!! Shoots tiny lil groups too!!!I haven't shot mine past 50' but don't expect it to shoot that well! I agree 100% with your description of the firing cycle. I like the ergonomics of that 13" barrel! Mine likes those JSB 11g too. I am also pleased to discover it shoots the cheap Crosman Destroyers good too. They have been working well for me on Rats in true hen house. CW
