I’ve killed a few gray squirrels with a .25 cal 25.39gr king tuned to 600fps at the muzzle. One was a heart/lung shot at 30 yards. The pellet lodged against the hide on the opposite side. Dead instantly. The other was a brain shot at 30 yards. Complete pass through. Dead instantly, obviously...

Thats very interesting. Not something I would have expected.

Update for anyone interested. I appreciate your feedback. I made some wind flags and did some more shooting. I shot at 100 yards for the first time with the RAW. I was able to shoot a 5 shot group that measured 1.125” and several others around 1.5”. There was a small amount of air movement so...

I have the 25 caliber mini hunter, chassis version. It’s shooting 3/4 to 1 inch groups at 50 yards using JSB, AEA and JTS 33-34 grain pellets. No real measurable accuracy difference between them. 825 ish FPS. I’ve tried 2 different moderators and bare muzzle. I called RAW and they suggested...

Interesting. I have a new 25 cal RAW HM1000x mini hunter that I’ve only shot twice… still pellet testing. I was shooting the exact same 2 pellets you were but at 826 fps. Some groups were spectacular. Some were very poor. I’m wondering if part of it is due to switching back and forth between...

I shot it today! The trigger really is as good as people say. Somewhere around 6oz with a long and light first stage. The very first 35 shots had a ES of 12 fps. Reg seems to be set at around 160 bar. 25 cal, 25.39 gr. pellets at 928. 33.9 grain pellets were at 826. Cold bore shots were...

Interesting. I didn’t know rapid ever made an unregulated gun. What’s your experience with slugs in it? I’m mostly interested in shooting pellets. I’ll try some light weight slugs eventually.

I posted a question a little while back about what gun I should get. I wasn’t satisfied with my FX and ya’ll gave me some good feedback. Several people recommended the RAW HM1000x mini hunter and that’s what I settled on. I haven’t shot it yet but I like the feel of it. I’d say the quality...

I visited a fairly new airgun store today. Cape Fear Airguns. I bought a RAW HM1000x and a few accessories. The owner is extremely knowledgeable, super helpful and friendly. I will be buying all of my airgun related items there from now on. Highly recommended. He tunes, repairs and customizes...

I like Airguns because I’m into precision shooting. I shoot center fire rifles out to 1000 yards frequently. Shooting a tiny, slow moving pellet at 50 yards requires the same fundamentals and principles. Everything is just scaled down. PLUS there’s no noise or recoil…and you can do it your...

Congratulations! That’s a sweet setup! Let us know how it shoots. It’s fine to dry-fire PCPs if it has air in it. I think it may damage some PCPs to dry-fire when completely empty but I’m not positive about that.

A lot of places it’s illegal to shoot an airgun inside city limits. So that would be the biggest factor to consider. If it’s legal to shoot then I’d try to be respectful of my neighbors and not shoot anything without a moderator.

I don’t have experience with the products you mentioned but I will share my experience with moderators. I have a 45 FTLB FX Crown and 2 moderators. A huggett snipe (6.7”x1.22”) and a DonnyFL Shogun (8”x1.6”). I was mostly satisfied with the snipe but I got the Shogun as an experiment to see...

What part of the chassis is wobbly?

“build quality: yes” I would pay $2000 for a gun that’s built a little bit better than a $1000 gun. Even for little to no measurable performance gain on paper. I have no dreams of winning competitions either. Or bragging. In fact, most people I know think airguns are kinda lame. I’m not...
