New (to me) .177 RAW TM1000

[Centercut]

Received my used RAW TM1000 that I bought here on AGN. Installed Weaver T series 36x40 scope on medium Hawke rings. Took it to the range Sunday morning, sighted it in at 50 yards. Shot a couple dime to nickel sized groups until it started blowing and swirling. Trigger is absolutely perfect. CF shroud keeps the noise down to a reasonable level. Shot JSB 10.3 very well. Haven’t tried any other pellets yet. So far so good. Stock is gorgeous. Got about 80 shots on a 200 bar fill. We’ll see how I do on it’s first 25M BR shoot. I’ll be selling my .22 DS Renegade with Huma reg on the AGN classifieds soon

Man I love the rich look of that wood. Is that the Weaver?

[Centercut]

Yes. That’s the Weaver we talked about...

my raw bm 500 177 is the most consistently accurate air gun iver ever shot. 10 shot groups at 5o yards are always about half an inch out doors.. if its not super windy

Nice gun!

 

[DeutschKSK]

[Hynzie]

double post ?

 

[Centercut]

@oregun, yes, I’ll be shooting it at the 50 yard BR competition at EBR. Probably not the best idea to shoot HV when modified Open class is allowed. It’ll be competitive unless the winds are swirling... at that point my 10.3 grain with .025 BC won’t do well against the .22 cal guns with BCs double that...

She sure is purdy. I have never been a huge fan of RAW’s looks, but that model right there tickles my bones just fine! Congrats!!

 

[Centercut]

Awww, man! Forgot to say thanks to @eohlin (Eric) and also to @mmahoney (Mike) for the gun. Eric owned it for a short time, and it was Mike's Dad's gun prior to that. Thanks guys!

Nice looking gun

I still think in .177 that the BM 500 MK 2 will out shoot the Tm 1000

@1828Muffin5, Dennis, what makes you say that? I'm not RAW familiar, this is my first, but it appears it can be used for BR and FT, whereas the BM is pretty much set up for only BR...?

Mike

 

[DennisB]

Right 

BM 500 

Are SET up for BR

Plus past experience with BM 500 And now the newer BM 500 Mk 2

Congratulations!n That's a beautiful rifle!. I also recently acquired a TM1000 that is very accurate. It's set up in a BM stock since that's the discipline I'll be most active in. I'll probably never be competing against a BM 500 or a BM500 Mk2 locally, but given what I've seen so far from my TM, I think it'd acquit itself well were a BM on the line with me, assuming equivalent shooting skills.
