Default Cocking assist

I have a RWS 350 Magnum that is a bear to cock. Anyone know where I can buy an assist or any ideas on what material to use to make one. Thanks

I would be afraid of a cocking assit scheme slipping....about the best idea I can think of is a softer spring rate and detune

Do you have a muzzle brake ? If not that could help you with a little more leverage when cocking. Otherwise as Tom suggested a good tune would help tons.

Default cock assist

Thanks for the help. I think I'll make my shooting sessions a little shorter with the rifle and shoot the light cocking effort pistol a little longer.

Do you know what the cocking effort is? The specs didn't list it in Pyramyd. My HW90 is 46 lbs and it's a bit of a challenge to cock as well.

UPDATE: Just found it - it's 33 lbs. for the RWS 350.

if it has no front sight, a piece of STURDY pvc could give you more leverage thus an easier cocking effort.
