Also glad to see the new Polymags! Bout time some new .30 pellets start rollin out. That was one reason I went with the .25 over the .30.

Guess I do need to get out and shoot mine. Seems a very professional yet real world review, groups with winds gusting to 15mph seemed about right. And I laughed when he said it likes to be held firm, I fired an almost maxed out HM1000x .357 after a field target match and the first shot, holding it like a 12fpe on bags with just two fingers touching, yup missed a target at 85ish yards, you don't have to muscle it but you do need to hold it. Also very nice hearing we may have more ammo choices with the polymag . Ammo choices were a slight concern of mine as well. I do know on these ( as with many pre-charged rig's) just a few fps lower , maybe an even 880fps , really flattens and extends the shot count.
How do these folks make these crazy good quality vids? I messed with the CMTV thing when it first hit in the late 1980's but even they didn't have editing sthuff to do these videos.

30cal,
Still waiting on my RAW in .30 caliber. I think I'm at almost 20 weeks of waiting. Already have my Hawke Scope for it, and have now added a Wicked Night Light for hunting with it. Have my JSB .30 caliber pellets and the .30 caliber Predator Polymags . . . all waiting for that RAW!

Hello Fred,
We are also waiting on the RAW .30's over here across the pond. Next week 20 weeks. Last news we recieved was that assembly was cancelled due to some parts not being up to standards. New parts had to be created and coated. I can immagine us waiting at least 6 to 8 more.

yari88,
Normally I would be thanking you for the updated information, but not this time!! Waiting hasn't been too bad since I am recovering from TWO knee replacements, so I'm not very mobile right now.
As I understand it, Nielsen Specialty Ammo has made .300 caliber bullets and is looking for RAW owners of the .30 caliber models to test fire his bullets. But, I couldn't help out.

Boy that's too bad! That's a long time to wait! It took 14 weeks to get mine but on the up side it was worth the wait. I love mine! It has been rock solid dependable so far. Looking forward to the weather improving soon. I plan to do lots of shooting this spring and summer. Should be fun!

Fred,
I share your pain. Waiting was allright the first 14-16 weeks but now things are really starting to itch.. Hehe. For me, the RAW will bring me up to competition standard and i can't wait to get started in the Dutch 100 meter airgun scene. I will invest heavy once the gun is shipped, my supplier luchtbuks.com has so many great products. My downpayment is for the custom RAW .30, a sightron 10-50x60 LR IR Moa2, a (similar to pelican) guncase, recknagel mounts, a compressor and external regulator. Allready own a cf-ss star bipod.
