Air rifle guns?

Question

What is the difference between the cocking effort on a 28lbs air rile and a 30lbs cocking effort?

Is a bull barrel better than a nickel-plated?

Answer 1

2 pounds..
Bull Barrell is a shape..
Nickel plate is a coating...

Answer 2

A bull barrel is going to be heavier than a nickeled barrel. As far as cocking, I don't believe your really going to notic the cocking effort between the two. I have two 300 mags. one is a rem.and the other is a Savage 110 tactical. the Savage has a huge bull barrel but it was made to place on a roof top, sitting on a Bipod and used as a sniper rifel. I don't think you would want to walk around with it verses the top of the line, Rem. that I have. also, do you mind all that extra weight? and price should make a dent in your decidsion between the nick or the bull. Happy shooting :)

What your looking at is "adult air rifles."
These guns put out alot of power. If your're
thinking about getting one and don't have any experience
with these types of guns you WIL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED,
because you won't hit a thing with it. The cocking effort is hard,
but shooting it is even more difficult because of the guns recoil.
It's not like a firearm recoil, it's very diffrent and most people
that don't know will get very fustrated and blame the gun. It takes
some people months just to hit the target at 50 ft. Seen it many times.
I would suggest starting with a low to mid power gun first and learn how these springers shoot before you get a high powered
springer, but I know you don't belive me so go a head and get one
and find out for yourself. You can learn the hard way like most of
the other people.

Answer 4

Cocking effort, I would assume, is in relation to the firing mechanism. More effort = more push for the projectile. (or poor design)
I would think nickel plating is the most durable.
