I was inclined to buy the panthera but then the local dealer showed up with the RAW hm1000 its a rare piece in our region any inputs on the accuracy front compared to fx
Raw hm1000 vs panthera
- Thread starter Fkh84
- Start date
Quite a bit different guns.
The FX can be configured many different ways for caliber and power. The RAW is more of a set it and forget it platform. Properly setup though the RAW can be supremely accurate. I love the solid feel and gorgeous construction of the RAW. It really does depend on your intended use.
We can help a bit more if you can give us some ideas about your objectives.

The RAW uses a cut rifling barrel that is extremely accurate, if that means anything to you. I have both 22 cal and 25 cal and both are very accurate, no messing around airguns with lots of power. The 22 is tuned for the JSB 25 grain pellet and the 25 cal for the JSB 34 grain pellet. Both moving over 900 fps.

VERY different rifles ...
FX will provide SUBSTANTIALLY greater power potential over the RAW
If one who chases big power and the bragging numbers of performance then go FX
Want a SOLID rifle of upper to modest power the RAW

I have two RAW rifles. I had an Impact and I sold it. To complicated for me and not as solid of a gun. But you can get more power out of the Fx as was stated above

Have never used FX Airguns, but own 3 RAW HM1000x's. Shooting .177, .20, .22 and .25 calibers. Plenty of power for my needs which is targets out to 100 yards. Very simple, but elegant, solid rifles that lend themselves to endless hammer, valve, plenum, regulator and stock mods/tinkering.
Don't hunt or want to shoot anything over 34 grain pellets/slugs

As many have said the RAW is an excellent pellet rifle, the FX Panthera is a purpose built air rifle for slugs which is the trend is high powered long distance air guns. Pellets vs slugs have entirely different methods of stabilizing and in general, slugs like speed and are sensitive to things like twist rate, choked vs unchoked barrels, then you come into the issue of cut vs button **** or hammer forged barrels.
If you want high power, and easy tuning by the FX Panthera.
I have a 2022 RAW HM1000x and have figured a way to try out various regulator and hammer tension settings, but it is not nearly as easy nor convenient as the FX models. Also the FX Panthera has a larger plenum, useful in shooting heavier slugs.
