RAW HM1000

The highly anticipated RAW HM1000 has arrived.  In stock and ready to accompany you on your next hunt.  I test fired a .22cal regulated, shooting JSB 18G @ 850fps, which is just under 30fpe.  The trigger is a fully adjustable sporting version with an added safety catch.  The HM1000 features an adjustable butt pad, a stippled hand grip, built in dovetail rail system and duel scalloped receiver for easy left or right hand single loading.  

While testing the rifle, my head cold and blowing rain kept me on the indoor range. Dropping the gun on a single bag, I fired a couple of groups at fifty feet.  My first group was actually the best group, just a ragged hole the same size as the pellet.

A Great Sporting Rifle from RAW, at a respectable price point.

January - Indoor Bench Rest



Precision Airguns hosted their first Indoor Bench Rest Event of 2013 on Thursday, January 31st.  Michigan's cold and snowy weather bought in eight dedicated airgun enthusiasts.  These are non sanctioned events with benches set at 50 feet giving individual shooters a chance to proof out various rifle, scope, pellet and rest combinations.  Thank you to everyone that came out.

With all the Great Choices in High End Air Rifles these days, I try to shoot a different rifle at every bench rest event we host. Steyr, FX, Theoben, an older ZM2002 Anschutz have all proved themselves to be Bench Rest Match Winners in previous events.  This month I chose a RAW TM1000 12fpe .177 laminate stock. What a wonderful rifle to shoot, stable, quiet, accurate.  Topped with a Leupold 6.5x20 EFR and using 7.9 JSB's  I was able to shoot a 750 35X.
