@Brian.in.MI, this post reminds me of the moment in "Quigley Down Under" when Marston meets Quigley for the first time and holds up the add which had been placed in American newspapers asking for long range shooters. Quigley's reply to the add wasn't a long letter of claimed qualifications... just a three hole 2" group through the add, a brief note about distance shot, and his name. A picture's worth a thousand words...
 
Inside 40 yds my .177 Thomas FT
I rarely shoot further than 55 yds, so I guess my Charlie Frear tuned .22 Cricket pup is the winner at 55 yds since it bucks the wind better than the .177

The ol' Thomas ain't too shabby at 50yds on a calm day though. Damn flyers ;-)

Charlie Frear tuned Cricket at 55 yds. This is a 9 shot group with the 18.1 gr JSB's Only had 9 pellets left in the mag when I shot this group at my steel drum on the back of the lot. The first 3 or 4 pellets were so tight they finally punched a hole in the barrel at close to 35 foot pounds from the muzzle. The rusty pellet dent above the group was the POA. Wasn't holding the camera very level for the second photo but all shots easily covered with a dime.

My Cricket .25 and Ernest tuned Impact .25 are close...well the Impact just squeaks by. 
But have to say that my Marauder .25 really holds it’s head up against these two. I replaced the barrel against Crosman’s recommendation and it became a laser. I knew that it could be better. 
My Condor SS in .25 it’s at the bottom. Thinking about a conversion to .257. We’ll see. 
Finally I have a Rob Hawkins-tuned Diana 52 Springer in .22 that will stack em.

The most accurate? The Impact by a nose.
 
"Kev"Dang Brian you have that RAW dialed in.
Can't take credit for much..I adjusted the trigger to personal preference. After a break-in tin, I tuned the HST to shoot the 44.75gn JSB at the speed Martin recommended. Done. Straight from the box, it's the most accurate air rifle I've ever owned or shot (in 20 years) 

Seeing Crickets popping up on this thread a lot, and rightfully so. I have an E.Rowe tuned .25 and it's amazing. It has an outdoorsy lifestyle bench queen RAW's only dream of. Hiking, killing squirrels, hiking... Compact, powerful, accurate hunting machine. 

So is the RAW the most accurate air rifle I have? YES. Is it the first one I grab for hunting? NO.

I bought a fx bobcat 25cal. a couple yrs ago and put a hawke eclipse 6x24 0n it and have never shot anything more accurate at 50yrds. My girlfriend who never shot a gun in her life put 11 pellets in a dime size group at 50yrds off a bench with a bipod. It just blows me away every time i shoot it. My best shot was a banana spider at about 70yrds..He just disappeared and left 8 legs scattered in his web. 
 
my air wolf is doing 15 mm ctc all day long at 50 yards .177
​my raw 500bm 177 is doing much smaller than that,
​to me any rifle that's grouping 5 shot groups more than 15mm ctc at 50 yards is just not worth the time.

the above for both rifles is with unsorted and in weighed pellets.
​I have yet to do that, but I got my pellet gauge ordered and getting a weight scale.

so see where that takes me..
