Well, you touch on a good point re the mag. Ive found its a design flaw. Like all rapid magazines, they work on gravity, and when aiming up wards in a tree say, take a shot, pull the lever back to load another, pellet falls out the back of the magazine. [May have told you already in pm] Annoying but not enough for me to not like the rifle.
Ive also found that accuracy is A LOT better hand loading the breech.
Shocking how much it drops off though over ten yards. Especially being so flat from 20 to 30.
Same thing happened to me with the Regal and most daystate guns , if you watch
