RAW 1000 chassis rifle info wanted

[Zach]

I’m thinking of getting one of these rifles in.22. I want to shoot the JSB Redesigned 25 grain pellets around 930 fps. I want good accuracy out to 80 yards.

I’m after a simple solid rifle I can just pick up and shoot with out needing to rezeroe it and tinker with it every time. All info good or bad would be appreciated.

I'd strongly recommend this exact setup. I don't shoot mine past 50 yards very often but at 25 and 50 yards it shoots sub-moa all day. I weight and head size sort my JSB Monster Redesigns for consistency. Above all, don't mess with the tune you will get from Martin at RAW. It will be set for the 25 grainers at best speed for that pellet. Here is a string at 25.

And a string at 50 yards.

Have one like Ross above, highly recommend one! You can now order one with a unf 1/2 20 adapter and fit the LDC of your sound signature preference, just make sure to order that particular model....

My .25 is a tack driver scary accurate. Right out of the box perfectly tuned.

You should not have any issues getting the muzzle velocity you want - My .22 is a 'later model' AF produced gun (likely manufactured in about 2021) and the way I received it used it is shooting the 25.39 RD's very accurately (at least out to 100, which is my limit at the big range) at an average muzzle velocity of 947 fps.

I did pick up a Chassis model in one of my used RAWs I purchased from AoA or UA. Can't say that I liked it all that much as compared to an LRT stock or other laminate thumbhole RAW stock. Will always be to each their own. I preferred the weight and configuration of the wood stock since I shoot the gun off the bench only. Allows one to get real stable on nothing more than a couple of bags. Could never get the chassis model as stable on the bench.

Of course the chassis model is a lighter overall gun, and would likely be more robust for field use. But that is not how I use my RAWs, so my chassis stock is long ago replaced and sold off.

YMMV

I appreciate the information. I tend to shoot more in the field than on the bench. I love the look of the laminate stock though so it’s hard to decide
