RAW at 50 and 100, .22

 I am selling this rifle to a friend who has bought numerous rifles from me over the last year. The last one was an AZ Zebra Wood stocked, CRX FT rifle. This one is obviously a RAW. I modified the stock 10+ years ago for my Theoben long range Bench shooting attempts. This barrel and stock combination have shot many sub half inch groups at 100 yards. Quite a few years ago I shot it all summer at 200 yards with pellets, and finally managed to shoot a sub MOAgroup at 200 yards, five shots. It took me many months of trying.

He’s planning to shoot Benchrest with it, I wanted to make sure it was still shooting well. I haven’t had it out for years. 

I put an inexpensive 24X hawk scope on it. And started shooting at 50. Obviously it was performing well. So before it became too dark I ran a target out to 100 yards. Then I ran downstairs and got some of my 18 grain silver tin JSBs. I shot three groups, this was the third. One of the shots surprised me, the one to the right of the rest of them. I was quite pleased with this group. It is just over half an inch hovering right around 1/2 MOA...not bad for a 22 at 💯, Possibly the price should be higher?



Needless to say, conditions were excellent.

Since it's a pre-Airforce gun and and has a walnut stock, I would ask a good price for it. Walnut stocks are becoming extinct in favor of those crappy black ones and the chassis mechanical mightmares. I had a TM1000 in 177 that I shot BR with that I bought almost ten years ago. I only sold it because I moved and there is no BR events here. Those older RAWs are becoming collector items. Martin could update that gun with a CF bottle and a "V" block that contains the manometer, fill port, and a newer regulator, but it's not necessary to do this. You have a beautiful rifle that either you or your prosepective buyer will treasure. Considering what FX and Daystate rifles are selling for today, the RAWs are cheap.
