Hurry up!

[Percula]

I ended up taking this week off from work, with the plan of doing a lot of shooting.

• Local wash I was using, I'm not using anymore after a talk with a sympathetic deputy...
• Local range (with in 5 ins drive) closed Monday and Tuesday
• New Thomas on the delivery truck "out for delivery", signature required
• Wonderful CALM day...
• Weather front moving in (aka windy) Thursday, rain forecast for Friday and Saturday
• Hawke Sidewinder 8-32, rings and tools sitting on the bench ready for the Thomas
• RAW BM500x filled, pellets sorted, targets printed
• Range closes at 7pm
• Imgur account created, app installed, ready to take some pictures

So hurry up and deliver that gun!

The RAW...

Man that is WICKED BADASS !!! What a killer looking rig !!!!

 

[beeser]

You sure have a fine mess of shootin' gear! Hope that RAW to be my next acquisition. Like the color of the stock too.

 

[Dairyboy]

Love that color stock as well! Beautiful gun and lucky you getting a Thomas!

Dude that fluorescent green water bottle is sick! That RAW is pretty nice too. Congrats!

Still waiting... Not looking good for getting range time in today, 3 hours before the range closes.

I didn't think I would like the stock when Mark described it to me over the phone. It's the "anniversary edition". But once I seen it in person it was great!

For those wondering...

Equipment List

• RAW BM500x in 30cal with anniversary edition stock
• Sightron SIII 10-50x60 scope
• FX No Limits rings (not shown, put them on after these were taken)
• Targetshooting.com front rest
• Mapex drummers throne
• Omega 100cuft tank
• Protektor deluxe bumble-bee with ears and handle

It'll be a little like Christmas when the Thomas gets here, as I did not give a color preference "doesn't matter, just send the next one ready to go", so I might have a red, blue, black or silver...

I do not own a RAW... yet! but one thing I love already is the cocking lever on the left hand side for a right handed shooter. It would be so ideal for bench shooting and I really wish manufacturers would add a lever that you could change to either side.

Heres hoping you can get some range time in! 

 

[Percula]

Well it finally came, but its dark out and I don't want to rush over to the range for the last hour of shooting under the lights.

It's red. Scope is mounted, filled and a tin of sorted pellets ready to find her.

I'll head over in the morning and hope for a fairly calm morning. I want to get the Thomas sighted in and get some "get used to it" time before this weekends 50y match. I also want to get many groups on paper with my RAW.
