Had three awesome 100 yd five shot groups with FX Boss this morning.

Nice shooting Fuss!! Glad that Boss has worked out so well for you.

I’m still weighing my options as I try to get back into airguns, spending a lot less money than last time. It definitely helps when we get to see these threads showing guys shooting well with rifles that aren’t the most expensive. 

You went out at a good time today, because it got hot quickly!!

A little off topic but you guys that are shooting groups at 100 are you sorting pellets? I shot some today and I had one of those two group things going. Three touching and the one would drop about four inches low next one back in the group followed by another low one. OR clean the barrel? Or both. There was some wind too. Several variables hard to know which is the cause. Maybe all of them 



i have determined that I can’t shoot groups when the conditions are anything less then ideal.

I may try sorting pellets by weight.

Good work Fuss, with a good gun. Here's some targets I've shot at 100 with my HM1000x RAW .25. They are 10 shots each. Previously, I had a .30 cal RAW. It shot well, but with the recoil and droopy trajectory, I sold it in favor of the .25.





Here's one at 75

 Nice shootin! There is always that 1 booger that keeps it from being the group of a life time. Can't tell how many times I shot 4 great shots and them choke on the fifth one!

It’s a journey not a destination isn’t it. I NEVER thought I’d have any interest in a 30 cal but it’s turned into almost the only gun I shoot. I find it just a little louder then the other guns but for my use no problem. It’s the only gun I’ve found dependable beyond 75 yards. 

I’m interested in what some of the fellows are doing with slugs but I’m also somewhat intimidated by all that’s involved. I’d probably jump in if I had a mentor to guide me. PLUS it would involve a significant investment . RECOIL on the 30? I notice nothing as far as recoil.

Who knows where this will end? I’m just glad I can play with my toys.

Paul, how “droopy” is droopy to you? Just curious if sighted in at 50 yards on both, how much less droopy in inches is the .25 compared to the .30? It seems like maybe 2 inches, 11 to 13? Those both look pretty droopy to me. . I guess if you’re shooting pellets at 150 yards it may be slightly more of a difference, like 38 to 46 inches... Also, I think the recoil depends on the gun. My .25 PT Cricket is a lot more jumpy at 63 FPE than my .30 FX Bobcat is at 80 FPE...

Nice shooting Fuss! Now let’s see what that bad boy can do at 150+

You really want to make me work! LOL I'd have to do some serious shrub clearing on that lane to get her out that far. Maybe wait till 2025 when the timber company harvest their pines and clear it for me? LOL

Wish I was just a little closer to you. I’d go there and make that lane for you, in August to boot!

I just recently bought a RAW HM1000X LRT in .25. The first couple of times out with it I had a blast, pellet on pellet accuracy but my velocity was between 835-875fps (ES of 40fps)and way lower with the heavier slugs. I got some information from here on AGN and talked to a tech at RAW which gave me some tuning options which helped a lot. I adjusted the regulator last night (only 1/4 turn) took me to just shy of 150BAR. I took it out this morning to test accuracy and check velocity. When I got to the ranch and started shooting it was averaging 908-919fps. with the MKII's. I backed off the hammer spring until my velocity averaged 900fps with the 33,95 MKII's and my ES was only 6fps... 899-905fps. I shot the MKII's, H&N Barracudas as well as 2 VK slugs(32.80 & 34gr) and 2 Nielsen slugs(33.5 & 36.2gr) and all of them shot lights out, except the Barracuda 27.47gr. @ 975fps which was just too fast! No adjusting necessary when switching between slugs and JSB's. Just crazy! I'm so used to having to fine tune my gun to every different slug when shooting my FX Impact. The simplicity, accuracy and ability to shoot slugs or the JSB's is so refreshing with this RAW. Anyway, the point is... I shot 3/8"-1/2" groups at 50yds with the JSB's and 1"-1.5" groups at 100yds with two different slugs and no adjustments! The other slugs shot well too, just not quite as well as the best two slugs(Nielsen 36.2gr. and VK 34gr). I'm so glad I bought this gun, just sweet! 

Fuss, MOA at 100+ yds is awesome, period! It doesn't matter what caliber it is. And, 1/2 MOA at 100yds is just plain old phenomenal!!! That's some fine shooting my man!

I just bought a Vortex Golden Eagle tonight to go on my RAW and I'll put my Athlon Ares on my Impact. I looked at the Sightron SIII and the Hawke scopes with high magnificaton but I really don't like any of the Hawke scopes and I paid less for the Vortex than I would have for the Sightron SIII. I got such a great deal, a really great deal, like $600 off retail, on this brand new Golden Eagle that I couldn't pass it up. Phenomenal ED glass, 15-60x52mm, awesome turrets, and what I think is the best reticle ever. I like FFP scopes but it's not a big deal to me, especially since I'll be shooting it most often at 40x where a FFP reticle would be huge! I can't wait to put it on my RAW and I'll have a long range killer!!! Have a great week buddy! Stoti

nice shooting Jimmy

wish i had 100 yds

i would break out one of the big guns and try
