I've got a Leapers 3-9x32 AO/MD scope in one piece mount with stop pin
butted up against the raised scope rail frontend on top. I cock the
underlever with my right hand/arm, load with my left hand while holding
onto underlever with right hand and right after loading my left hand/thumb
is used to press the release button so I can return the cocking underlever.
Easy enough and I've got it down pat. If the scope were longer it would be
not so easy or a bit of a hassle. My left reaches/comes around the scope
objective bell/frontend to load, to push the cocking lever release button.
