Cocking effort R9 vs. RWS 350 Magnum
« on: April 06, 2010, 01:06:11 PM »


I was reading up on RWS 350 threads and saw a few references to the effort required to cock it. So I decided to compare the listed numbers for my R9 to the RWS 350. Pyramydair lists:



R9 CockingEffort 40 lbs.



RWS350 CockingEffort 33 lbs.





Does my weaker R9 actually require a higher coking effort than the RWS 350 Magnum??? Anybody have these 2 guns and can confirm?

I have the R-9 and she cocks as smooth as butter. I think the difference in length of barels will reflect the overall cocking effort. Don't own a RWS 350 but have cocked them hundreds of times..:) In my opinion the R-9 is lighter cocking..  Jeff, aka Longislandhunter has both and he will probably chime in on your post.
