I would sincerely like to know ... why ... RAW does this: I am referring to their lack of a proper trigger guard.

It is just not good design. It violates tradition. I'm sorry but is just plain clunky.

Personally, RAW's trigger guard is fine with me. It is a non issue if you actually shoot the gun.

Keep in Mind the photo above shows the Left Side of a dedicated Right Hand thumbhole stock .... the Photo I have added shows the ergonomically contoured side that is not visible ... These stocks are amongst the Most comfortable stock made RAW

That grip does look very inviting! I'll bet it fits the hand very nicely!

I used to not be too fawn of the trigger guard or bottle guns for that matter. I always liked the traditional rifle look but......I've grown to like them now. I don't know if RAW is going to do a drastic change to their guns. To own one of RAW's guns, you have to wait three to four months to get one generally. Hard to argue with success!

Standard RH Sporter Stock, no? I have one of these and was amazed at how comfortable it is. It looks very clunky, but in my hand it feels just right.

Mark,
Since you're the real deal let me follow up on my polygon barrel question:
I sent an inquiry to RAW about fitting their stock TM polygon .177 barrel to my .22 HM1000. Martin replied in a quick note that the barrel could not be fitted with the thimble because of the magazine of the HM. I am wondering if he is saying that the barrel w/ thimble will not function with a magazine (something that I don't care about) or if the configuration of the receiver/ transfer port/ barrel channel is incompatible? Also, do you think the regulator would need adjustment to go from .22 19fpe to a suitable .177 setting?
Thanks.

I see RAW is now producing right hand magazines in .25. I hope I can get one for my ordered RAW.

Sandy..
Almost anything is possible.... Ask SRGT004..
In Short, the thimbles were developed for the BM/TM series guns. The bolt probe is different on the HM's, a standard barrel can be fit to your gun but it would be necessary to properly configure your gun for best accuracy... this would require internal changes.

I just sent you a PM.. Give me call and It will be quicker to go over the details....

I've got a RAW in .30 cal coming. Due to arrive late January -
I watched a gentleman shoot the RAW .30 out at 100yards this Sunday - it rivaled many powder burners! 
'Awesome accuracy ! And and Quiet 
im a believer ! 
And my understanding is that Martin and his team go all out to solve any problems that may arise 
and in the end, that's what makes a great company 
cheers

I've found the biggest problem with owning a RAW is that I don't have any desire to shoot anything else. Since purchasing mine, I've bought and sold a couple of perfectly good fairly high end guns. Nothing wrong with them, but they just couldn't compete with the RAW. Would be nice if there was an option for a synthetic or carbon fiber stock. You could shorten the barrel a bit (which I had Martin do on mine) and with a lighter stock it would make be a much better option for carrying in the field.
