Happy New Year to All,
Since I started shooting my new toy I've noticed the "lock time" is noticibly longer than, say, my Lyman Great Plaines Rifle. From the instant the hammer starts to fall until the main charge goes off is, I would guess, & I admit this is a rough guess, a quarter of a second, whereas on my rifle, it's instantaneous, which means if you don't hold this thing rock-steady, you're probably gonna miss. If you're shootin at paper, no big deal.....but if at a critter, could mean the difference 'tween you gettin your dinner & not! Is this just the nature of the "beast", or what? Has anyone else noticed this, or am I crazy?
PS...I really enjoy shooting it with the shoulder-stock I got fot it.
