New love, RAW HM1000X

[hsnmz]

Recently received my new HM1000X .25 and am in love. The fit n finish, the craftsmanship is on another level.
It is shooting the JSB King Heavy pellets at 910 fps (around 62 ft/lb). I got 45 shots shooting from ~225 bars down to ~145 bars which is pretty efficient at this high power. The extreme spread was 9 fps.

Went out yesterday and took some shots at 75 yards after a quick zero at 50 yards. It just amazed me with it's out of the box accuracy.

Here are some pics

The groups at 75 yards. There was a slight breeze from left to right. The first one is 0.6" and second is 0.7" centre to centre. The scale in the pics is in centimetres. The gun is capable of shooting much tighter groups if I do my part.

That's amazaing... 45 shots at 62 fpe. And gorgeous to boot! I've got a couple of Martin's target rifles. One of these day's I'd like to get the HMX in .25.

ENJOY!

Very beautiful gun and great shooting, I placed an order for the same one about 3 weeks ago. So I still have a lot of waiting to do, can't wait!

Congrats on your new HMx .25...

Thank you guys for liking it.
@YamahaR1 I had to wait for almost 6 months as RAW ran out of laminate stock and the new delivery of stock got late. You can imagine my feelings during those 6 months and when I finally got it. Hope that you get yours soon.

Thanks for sharing, they are beautiful rifles.

6 months! Yeah I'm sure you were feeling all sorts of things, I've had to wait that long for one of my air rifles. It's a hard thing to do but you can't rush a great American made air rifle! How does the carbon fiber look on the shroud? I'm a big fan of real carbon fiber and it's super cool to see there air rifles have cf! I'd have a cf shroud on all my guns if I could.

u have the best coulor stock. I love that forest green as much as you do and yes yr gun will give even better accuracy.just spend some time with her.
I'm getting accuracy like that with my raw bm500 177 so I'm sure yr .25 will do a little better in the wind.
AWSOME STUFF! HAPPY FOR YOU AND POST MORE GROUPS!

Congrats! I just recently placed my order for one as well. Hope to get it before June but I’m not sure what the back log is looking like. Nice looking piece of machinery!

Very nice! The .25 RAW is a great all rounder cal.
And, it will smooth out as you use it more, happy days eh?

Thank you very much everyone for the compliments. 

@YamahaR1 a friend of mine has an early HM10000X with the regular shroud and barrel. Mine with carbon fibre sleeve looks much better and due to this cfos shroud mine is around 2" shorter than his. Also I got the polygonal barrel which is shooting the JSB Kings very accurately but his gun shoots them better. A reason could be that my gun shoots the Kings at 1010 fps, as it's tuned for the King heavies, while his is shooting at 960 fps. Closer to the speed of sound the diablo pellets start to loose stability. But the JSB King Heavy are more accurate in mine especially at longer distance as compared to his.
