Raw Bm500 Long range

Impressive!

Great shooting! What caliber is it?

Mighty fine shootin' Ken. "Dirty Finger" LoL....sounds like a good name for a band!

Excellent shooting and nice setup. Certainly capable of great accuracy...

I did this @ 56yds with my HW-100 .22, I had just cleaned the barrel, so the top two left targets were leading up the barrel again, then bottom right & left were 5 shots each, wish I could eliminate those pesky flyers! I was extremely happy with those last two groups though... Nice shooting SALTY!, I think those polygonal barrels are are going to be hot! Especially in the wind for long range shooting!

"Salticon"Thanks nomojo, my .30 is about done, then I'll be getting a LV rifle, after that a open class rifle, be wonder if a .20 cal rifle would be good for open class and 50 yard shooting...I'm sure a .20 poly barrel is avail with the right resourcing. Homework homework!!!

Things that make you go hmm... Why wouldn't the RAW 500 you have now be a perfect open class gun for you? I get your idea of a .20 or even a .22 for open class (heavier less wind drift, larger to get more X coverage, note the winner of the 2016 nationals open class). I worry about the pellet select choices in .20, i.e. being able to find that "magic combination" of manufacture quality/design, weight. The pellet choices in .22 seems to be a lot more healthy to choose from.

My plan is a Thomas .177 for 25m and 50y open class and 25m HV. Then a RAW 500x in .30 for 75y and 100m. Not sure about a LV gun, rather the Thomas will step down and still give me a good selection of pellets or not IDK. My Thomas should be in hand by the end of October and the testing and setup beings!

Aw come on Zasadny and get me my Steyr back before I wind up with one of these darm BM500s!

I think I need to talk to Martin about also adding a .22 .25 or .30 cal barrel for my BM500 for shooting out to 75yds?, can't afford another dedicated Gun, but could swing an extra barrel! 

WOW! Can't wait to see pics of that rifle -rifles, My TM-1000 has a super quite silencer that Martin suggested & it's very very quite! You will love it trust me!

that is a lovly group salti.. oh those 500bm rifles. they seem awesome...got any more 50 yard targets to post from your poly barrel 500? do post!

meh

Salticon, so you can put a the same action in a thumb hole or bench rest stock? If so, that's great news to me as I'd love to get a BM 500x in .25 with the polygonal barrel, but I also like to shoot it off hand and field target style as well. So, the accessory rail and check riser, or even better, a whole different thumb hole stock would be awesome. Am I reading into your post correctly?

yes you can put different stock into a different action. I have a rea 500bm ordered with a l r t stock with adjustable cheek piece and comb.
​both wrh lw and poly barrels orderd.
