I would expect the draw to be harder. The speed has to come from somewhere, but the fact that there isn't a bump or hump in the cycle is nice. I really liked the draw of the 82nd until that bump at the end. I could see that being an issue on a cold day with a lot of layers. Also, the valley, or lack there of, is scary. A little creep and it's taking off on you. I am not a disciplined enough shooter for that.
