Hi guy's,thanx,this is indeed a kick ass airgun!
On all points,the build quality,the stock,the grip,the trigger,the carbonfiber botle and last but not least the performance,Martin shure did created a marvelous Airgun.
Ihave owned some verry fine airguns,AAS510.25,FX Cutlas.22,Airwolf CDT.22 and so on, the last two years i shot the 100m competion with a FX Boss witch is a verry good Airgun,it has proven himself al arround the world in several competion.

Well i say,the RAW is better,i think this is gonna show during the Extreme BR competion 2015,and in the Dutch 100m competion,mark my words!

I shot some verry nice results with my Boss and with me some other Boss shooters as well in the 100m competion.
We are shooting in the+25cal aka bigbore class and we have to compeed against airguns that shoots sollids(Sinner,Beaumont.308) they have dominated the class the past few years and a specialy this year .The only pellet gun that mennage a win was the Boss and several podiumplaces to no other gun came close.A Wolverine ,on time menaged first place with the smallest group of the day,0.472 inches.
We have prices for first, second and thirth place in the smalbore class and bigbore class and one price for the smallest group of the day overal.

The 28'st of this month we have our next match,and we are gonna see several shooters competing with a RAW,myself included.
And my expectations for the RAW shooters are verry high!
Ime pretty shure there gonna do better than the Boss,witch is as i sayed before a verry good gun!

PS Mike congrats with youre impresiff results during the extreme Benchrest of Arizona 2014,shooting a .22 cal gun outdoor and taking thirth place @75yards against.30cal guns verry nice,and of course youre win @25m,tumbs up!
This year you have to go for a win in the pro class,if Martin is smart he will give you a .30 RAW to compeed in the AOA Extreme benchrest...

Thanks for the photos wilfried!

Can someone coment on the ergonomics of these guns? Particularly the thumbhole stocks. They look very comfortable but I have heard very little about this. Lots of info on accuracy and mechanical smoothness and build quality but little on ergonomics. I'm interested in cheek weld, scope alignment, weight balance etc. Also can this gun use low scope rings with a 42-44 mm scope?
 
Congrats on getting an outstanding rifle, and using it to good effect! TN has some nice tree's and RAW makes them look great. I have the standard HM1000 .22 , cant find a darn thing to complain about. Fit finish balance groups, all outstanding.



And it may just be me and terminology but the barrel is NOT a CF "wrap" (as in the tape wrap stuff some add for looks) but rather a carefully bonded CF tube which does greatly stiffin the barrel, you could also get one with a steel sleeve pressed over the barrel, or,... ... , everything about the RAW's is functional even if they do look great.

Thanks for the post spysir. And for the clarification on the CF wrap/sleeve. RAW did tell me that it added some stiffness to the barrel and some weather resistance. I didn't realize however that it was a stiff tube bonded to the barrel. Even better!

Beautiful gun by the way! Thats an interesting scope mount setup you got there. Do you hunt with yours or mainly target shoot?
