raw hm 1000x lrt or dATSTATE WOLVERIENE

"chasdicapua"IF you're wanting to shoot field target with it, and want the .177, I would go with the RAW TM 1000, not the HM. It has a better trigger and comes standard with the underside accessory rail and adjustable cheek piece. It's made to be a target rifle where as the HM is made to be a hunting rifle. Can't personally compare to Daystate, but I would imagine the RAW being regulated would hold an edge over the Daystate unregulated rifle. 


I have an HM1000, .177 cal that I had built for benchrest in the LV class. Didn't like LV so I dedicated my 20 for TM1000 for the HV class. Now I use the HM for FT. It is fantastic! It has the CF bottle and I get over 200 shots per fill. I also had Martin install an accessory rail as I do on all my rifles. If you get the HM, get the right hand magazines so that you can use an FT scope with a large focus wheel. Martin will build the rifle any way you want it. You even can get a TM trigger on the HM. BTW, if you plan to use this rifle for competition, the RAW is the only one to get. I can't imagine EVER sending one to a tuner.
 
"Regal_US"
That's really sad. Are their other ways to make the purchase in the US? 

I have the board installed in my Air Wolf and can't imagine going back to the stock rifle, its such a huge improvement.
You can still get it. Just use paypal to him. I think it is a bit cheaper because ebay doesn't get a cut. The guy has good communication also. I just ordered it a couple weeks a go. I had it in less than two weeks from Greece to NY to WA.
 
"sharroff"As an update on the RAW .30, I've installed the new double spring and guide that Martin sent me. Still shooting at 63 fps / 800fps. I have this gun a long time and am still dealing with back and forth repairs with another call into Martin (went to his voice mail today). Hopefully this time he will just send me a new receiver.
Curious........... Does it jump around at 800 or stay relatively stable?
 
"sharroff"Stable within 7fps spread
I wouldn't think the hammer spring would change it 70fps. Maybe 10. It is almost like the regulator moved being consistent like that. Keep us updated on the fix. I think in the end Martin will make it right. He truly seams like he listens and cares. I don't know how the man gets any work done being on the phone the always.
