RAW .25 pre-vid findings thread by AEAC

[AEAC]

AGN,

See it here first;

Thirty 60 fpe shots on the reg

hi 897
low 884
avg 891
es 13
sd 3.69

average energy across 30 shots = 59.86 fpe

------------

pushing the RAW off the reg still gets ya almost 50 good shots at 25 yds

"Forest Green Laminate" Long Range Target (LRT) stock

"Carbon Fiber Offset Suppression" (C.F.O.S.)

Real carbon fiber sheath and swallows 60 fpe with ease

Big, bad, & effective

steve,the moderator hows it compare to other Raw models i have a 30 cal due this week thanks pat

 

[AEAC]

It's offset and hangs below the barrel instead of being centered around it. Haven't had it on the meter yet but it does a good job masking 60 fpe and almost sounds like a raspy "cough" when it lets off. I like it.

And that reg will settle in.
LOVE the .30 but looking back the .25 is easier ( for me anyway) to shoot well and the new polly barrels , always loved looking at the offset mod on the shelf and have wanted a full report on that. 

Cant wait for the full run down, I do NOT need another fine airgun, darnit.

Really curious how/if the offset moderator positively or negatively affects accuracy. My RAW order is only two weeks old - next 6 weeks will be tough!

 

[T3PRanch]

Nice output power for sure. I would love to see what it would do with some .25 cast bullets (Pure soft lead). If you are interested in trying some PM me Steve!

Curious how it is different from my .25 RAW. Also is it worth getting a second?

 

[AEAC]

45.5' long and 11.2 lbs shoot ready

It's Lothar Walther Polygon barrel has been factory modified at RAW to perform best with the JSB MKII but if it likes anything else, I'll discover and share.

 

[Jplitterer]

I can't wait for the full review sir. Please keep up the great work for all us airgunners.

Is this a different barrel than is standard on the HM1000x LRT?

The "standard" RAW barrel is a standard Lothar Walther
. This is a polygon barrel it seems. From my understanding it handles heavier pellets at high speed.

Martin also tells me it takes longer to foul. Should be able to validate or debunk that one cuz I'm going to dirty the hell out of it today, lol.

 

[zx10wall]

Interesting...........I look forward to seeing this one.

 

[Dirte]

I would also like you to touch on the difference in moderators if you could.

Seems to me that the "all new" .25 is the standard LRT with the polygon option and a large volume moderator. You can probably buy the polygon barrel + moderator from RAW for a few hundred bucks. This might be worthwhile if you want to shoot heavy pellets at high velocity. Otherwise I think you have more versatility with the LW. If you already have the .25 and you want another RAW the .30 might be better a option. In fact, RAW has a .30 red laminate available for immediate delivery right now!

 

[T3PRanch]

It will change with time but as was pointed out in another thread .30's are still not widely available like some other calibers and run a fair amount more money.

I've been told by a friend that the latest models come with a chokeless polygonal barrel (His info came from our local RAW wholesaler.)
Funny thing is I have been shooting my converted .25 Boss for over 2 years using that kind of barrel (I don't like choked barrels in general, IMO a good barrel doesn't need one to shoot great. )
They indeed don't foul quickly, because there is no restriction causing the fouling. And they are clean within 4 patches if you decide clean them.
Definitely great barrels, especially a fantastic match with the king heavies. 

Steve, looking forward to your video, I really like them
Keep up the good work.

Cheers, Gijs

The LW-poly 60 fpe combo knows what it wants.

5 shots at 50 with the JSB MKII

10 shots at 50 with the JSB MKII

5 shots at 50 with the regular JSB King Heavy

10 shots at 50 with the regular JSB King Heavy

The rest of the story 

 

[Dirte]

Interesting...... The King Heavy is a bit better than the MKII.

 

[Smaug]

That thing is a beast. Being .25 cal. and shooting that tightly at 50 yards, I'm sure you'll take it out to 100 for us.

I wonder if RAW will ever make something light that might reasonably be shot on foot?
