Thanks for the reply,,,, I was really interested in the pumping effort required. Will have to ponder my pending purchase a bit more. I"m headed over to Cobra Airguns on Monday and I think Dave has the rifle and pump in stock,,,, think I'll ask him if I can pump one up and see for myself if it will be a problem. I have a couple of herniated discs in my neck and back and I'm not looking to irritate them. Thanks again.
