Hi guys:
Well a few weeks ago I receive my brand new Rapid Air Weapons HM1000X but I had to wait all this long because of the weather until I finally could take it to the shooting range last saturday, so this a brief review on how my HM1000X performed.
The chosen scope was a HAWKE Sidewinder 30, half mildot 6.5-20X.
I used 18.1 grains JSB´s pellets in 5.52.
The initial results were absolutely amazing: tight groups and a phenomenal shot count.
I´m attaching some pics of an eight shot group at 54.6 yards (50 meters). As you can see, there is a main central 4 shot group that measures .34”, “surrounded” by the remaining 4 shots, measuring .59” in one direction and .62” in the other. You can see that clearer on the pic that I took of the reverse of the target.
The wind velocity was of 9.6 m/h with gusts of 11.4 m/h; coming from north east; temperature was 96.44 Farenheit; humidity was 57%; atmospheric pressure was 29.92 inHG.
As for the chrony stats, I will post them on the next days, unfortunately I had a glitch on my chrony, but I´m on the way to solve it, however I can say that the shot count was of 80 regulated shots (+ or -).
Meanwhile I hope you like the pics and found this information interesting and useful.
