Does anyone know what the cocking effort would be for an R9 with a 12 ft lb Vortex kit?
R9 cocking effort

I have an ARH 14ftlb spring in mine and its pretty effortless. I wouldn't recommend using a Vortek kit in that gun though. They seem to have issues with the cocking shoe contacting the spring after you remove the factory piston sleeve. It doesn't seem to be the case every time but I have seen it more than a couple times now on AGN.

I have an ARH kit in my HW95L .22 at 17 FPE, the cocking effort is minimal using the moderator. The cocking cycle is absolutely soundless until the piston latches in the trigger. I reinstalled the factory piston sleeve with the thin washer along with the kit after a through clean/polish and lubed with Krytox GPL-205.

Thanks, I was planning on a muzzle break for a cocking handle. It will also save the bluing on the barrel. My R7's barrel is bare from cocking.

I have the Vortek 12fpe kit in mine now. I would say it 30% less effort?
But I imagine that it depends on strength and wing span.
