My Best 6 shoot group at 100 meters

The front rest is a Farley with joy stick, and the scope I use on my 30 cal. is a Sightron 10-50x60 with the MOA2 reticle 

Here is the set up that I used for the match

I also have an extra LRT stock from RAW that I have a Harris bipod mounted on it, so when I shoot in the hunter class I can just change stocks to fit that class rules.

Thanks I know you will enjoy your new rifle. I currently have 3 RAWs that I shoot in different matches here in Phoenix, and the group that was pictured was @ 100 meters or a little over 109 yards.

We measured the 6 shoots at 1 inch ctc. 5 shoots were at a little under 3/4 of an inch ctc.

Hi jking I will try to tell you my position behind the rifle, I use a lite pressure on my check to get the same eye relief each time and very little presure into the shoulder with the butt of the rifle lettting the rifle move. The placement of the rifle on the front rest is a trail by fire. Make sure and try different placement or balance points front and rear to try and get the best harmonics or movement of the gun to get the smallest groups and repeat, repeat, repeat, and so on. Now for the pellets I use an Air Comparator to air gauge the size of my pellets. The Air Gauge System I use is made by Mark Buchanan from RAW (Rapid Air Weapons) Phoenix office, he can be contacted on there web site. After that I will weight them. I know what psi range my rifle barrel likes and I will use those for the match and the other sizes for practice. Oh ya and practice as much as you can and try to read the wind. Wind calls I think is the hardest thing to learn. You will also need a good set of wind flags very important, ask CK (Cold King) about that and the condition we shoot at the 2016 USARB Benchrest Nationals in Oxnard CA.

Hope this help in some small way

Here is a little story about the winds at Oxnard by CK (Coldking), this was taken from WRABF....ERABSF....25meter target post thread

Just finished Day Two at the Nationals -and the only word I can think of is HUMBLING ! For guys that complain about winds– I can now say – You ain’t seen nothing until you’ve shot at Oxnard! Many a guy looked shell shocked by the end of this day! Me included -in all my years of shooting, I don’t believe I’ve ever shot in such conditions? -Just impossible to read these winds- they would turn in the other direction in a nano second! I have another bite at the apple tomorrow but – it’s definitely like nothing I’ve ever shot in before – not one competitor there thought differently – This is a sample clip of the wind conditions – I’m not sure of the video quality – but you’ll get the jist of it! 
https://youtu.be/PSqOZw_9ahwThe good part of this adventure was putting faces to so many people that I’ve typed to-It was a Hoot to meet Allen Surratt! He’s a Really nice guy! everybody at the event was incredible! And our host was the Best! My hat goes off to Joe Friedrich! Now if he could just grow some trees to stop them crazy ass Santa Anna winds!
It was great too see Gals like Linda Koch, Vipha Milller – really outshining the guys! 
But Allen Surratt does seem to give off his own light?
Metting the Arizona team- Mark Bucanun – all super nice people with a devotion to Airguns –
‘also James Brinkly -shooting in springer class – so many great people – to numourous to list !CK
