RAW REPORT

[WHITEFANG]

I can't speak on the RAW HMX .25. BUT I do have and old AZ Theoben Rapid MKII .25. IT SHOOTS the Kodiak 31.2 at 950 to 980 fps non regulated. The new RAW should do this easy. JMO

VERY nice looking stock!

Dear Friends,

What maximum fps do you achieve from your 60 ftlb HM1000x using 34 grain pellets by just adjusting the HST?

My HM1000X shoots 33.95 gr JSBs at 895 fps or 60.4 fpe. This is as received from the factory.and I've not monkeyed with it. I see no reason to push it faster than that because I'm more interested in accuracy than power. When it hits the target at my 55 yard range, it makes one helluva wallop. I've killed some big armadillos at that range too.

10 shots at 50 yd

12 shots at 75 yd

5 shots at 100 yd

Looks like every owner of RAW takes it as Holly Cow.



No one tinker with it. It is never an issue to turn hammer spring adjuster clockwise and do a chrony test and then unwind it to its initial position and chrony it.

Now I understand that when I upgraded my RAW guns, why some of members were surprised.

In the past Martin set up these guns for accuacy and set up for optimum fps for the ppellet. On my HM1000X 30 CAL and 357 I never bothered cranking in HST. THE GUNS shoot out if the box strong and accurate. 

Martin even helped me out on my Theobens with extra parts and more. His operation and communication was always spot on. .

I had a slight issue with the 357 with a popping out if the report. I sent it to him and his repair and turn around was quick and fast. Simple fix. Allen had loosened on the probe setting. I sent a stock to him I had foolishly damaged. The work and return was as above. You could not see the repair even on a laminated stock. 

Class act Raw is. So it seems the new RAW guns are now making more power and 2 stage triggers. The game has been upped and by this long thread still producing fine products. Congrates on keeping the true RAW name going. 1 fine pcp class act gun.

I agree with you for the past but now it is not as easy to talk to Martin as it was ever before. 

It's TRUE that RAW guns are great out of box but still we can check the maximum power potential through adjustment of HST only.

Tapatalk is not user friendly otherwise I would post many things on your forum.

For your visual enjoyment .... Custom TM-1000 in Black & Silver with a 500cc bottle, vertical target stock with accessory rail.

Many custom parts & pieces threw out. As shown set as a 12 fps WFTF Field Target rig for a sitting position shooting Deadman.

 

[Hairsmith]

Nice looking rig Scott ! Would like to know more about the hamster on that gun. 

For a 12FP raw what level is the reg set at & what is the shot count like ?

My TM1000 is doing around 19.5 FP right now, it is a very flat shooter with AA 8.4. But I have been thinking about setting it up & trying 12FP class with it.

 

[Motorhead]

Hamster was acquired second hand but at best guess the "Mechanics" are a MAC-1, the knee block is custom made from wood with non skid on the bottom.

When gun was ordered had Martin install a rail so when the time came to need it ... had it.



I can't give any exacts because it has a totally different valve with a Cobra mod, super light hammer and an internal SSG devise in play.

But is running IIRC in about 110 bar.

Rifle had been for the 2017 & 2018 FT seasons set up as a Hunter class gun in .20 cal. To make the conversion easily flip between a 20 ft lb .20 and 12 ft lb .177 with minimal fuss engineered & set it up so ONLY the SSG ( Contain spring & stop guide ) required a swap along with barrel/s. When at .20 cal the gun on the 500 cc bottle was in around 200-220 shots and as a 12 ft lb gun likely in excess of 350. * Never tried or had to worry about air use.

Having worked in the R&D of both the SSG & Cobra valve tech & applied both the efficiency is pretty outstanding.

@Motorhead - that's a nice setup! There must have been some work put into that. Very nice, indeed.

I'm going to want to install a small attachment point for a rail on the LRT stock, to support an adjustable Atlas monopod (and possibly a sling swivel). I was watching a video on YouTube, where IraqVeteran8888 was demonstrating an HMx, and the rifle he was using pretty much nailed what I'm planning to do:

Are any of you familiar with that rail? That looks to be a perfect fit, almost too perfect - which makes me think that it was cut down to size.

 

[fxairgunner]

Sweet. I will have to check it out.

 

[SPAW]

Checking fellows!, sorry Ive been a stranger but wow!, ive been very busy since my IWA Germany trip! Hope everyone is doing ok!

Doing well here, spring has sprung and the starlings are back in the "tree of death" Ground hogs are out as well.

How was the show?

[xindaris]

Try Daystate pellets when you get it. A lot more consistent pellet.

Germany was great! The Sites and food was awesome. The show was first class! Sounds like its time to start smashing critters!!

That is a prototype rail that we are looking at offering from the factory, it would be something that we could either install at the point of order or as an aftermarket accessory. It's not quite ready for production yet but we are getting close.

It looks pretty snazzy. M-Lok based? I'd love to get that exact rail base, I already have the monopod so I'll just have to see how my patience holds out.

Meanwhile in Michigan,

150 yards / RAW .30 LRT / Vortex 5-25 / Atlas 

UN - sorted JSB. 5-6 mph left to right tail wind. 75 yard zero = 22 MOA holdover. It’ll do MOA at 150 when I get my technique back in order (long winter)

 

[crgabel]

Brian,

Nice shooting.

Craig

 

[terrymc]

Niced shooting Brian!!

I need to take my .30 to the range where I can stretch it's legs some.

 

[mtnGhost]

Ok, I'm sort of confused! Received my .25 HMx today, and there's a fairly large gap between the mag / single shot trays and the action. Is this a normal feature?

I'm planning to use just the single shot trays for hand loading, a little concerned that I'm going to either lose them or wear them out pretty quickly as they seem to be just barely snug with the breach receiver nub. 

I did buy two trays from RAW directly, does anyone know of anyone selling decent aftermarket trays? 

Thanks
