Thought it looked familiar. I have a mil version on my Cricket (that I do not shoot) since I got the RAW. Have an MOA version on the RAW, that will change soon.

I'm still messing with the scope focus on the scope with the side shot on trying to get the camera and my eye focus set so that both are clear when using it. I've had limited time to dedicate to the task.

it would be nice to have the option to have the slow twist lw or poly barrels. I have both barrels but not a slow twist one.. i would have ordered one if it was available.
a slow twist is a another tool in the tool box for long range accuracy

Last night I had the privilege of introducing my daughter’s boyfriend to shooting (he had never shot a gun of any sort before). She wanted to come out and shoot with me (I was setup at 100 yards) so he joined her. Turns out he is right eye dominant, but left handed. Since he’s never shot before, I set him up shooting dor his dominant eye. I explained the basics to him-viewing the sight picture for scope shadow, adjusting your eye position, focusing your eye on the reticle, and baaic trigger control. He started off shooting the 3” spinner at 100 yards, and eventually moved to the 1.5” spinner-basically hitting it every time! Seriously-I don’t recall him missing-and the light was getting very low too (I turned on the illuminated reticle for him). He had a blast and came away really excited to shoot.
Oh yeah: he leaves next month to become an Army Cav Scout-so teaching him had some extra significance...

So tonight, when I got home, I had planned to go riding so I could have tomorrow morning free to go to the local Airgun club (BAGA)-but simply ran out of steam from the long week. So I decided to mix things up a bit and throw my .25 cal polygon barrel back on my RAW and shoot a little bit. I did that in no time flat-kind of bummed cause I wanted to sit and enjoy the process of working on my gun a bit, oh well....
Setup everything and went out to zero it in-as usual, took 2 shots and I was on target. Shot a 50 yard group, right off the bat (where I site the gun in usually) and it was a sub-.400" group, but a click or two high. Made the adjustments and set out to 75 yards right away: shot a 0.47" and 0.41" group, back to back-no sweat. I found that the ballistics, as expected, have improved further with the warmer, more humid weather we have now. Rather than dialing in 1.6 MIL of adjustment from 50 to 75 yards, I only had to dial in 1.4 MIL at the same distance. Man this thing shoots flat! I decided to make one last lateral adjustment, and put a single shot in the 10 ring of the 10m target-left that and took a picture (such a pretty sight!).
It was almost boring shooting groups at 75 yards, so I decided to head out to shoot off the bipod on my hard driveway, laying on the asphalt, and shoot my 2" spinners at 100 yards. Now the ground was very, very uncomfortable, and that bipod isn't very stable, but I made due with it. I checked my ballistics card (dial in 2.9 MIL of adjustment at ~98 yards and I should be spot on). Made the adjustment, adjusted my parallax for the distance, lined up on the first spinner-Nailed it, heard the satisfying 'clank' as the spinner spun up and sat into its stowed position! Moved to the next spinner, lined up, followed my shot process (check visual field to ensure eye alignment, focus my eye on the reticle, place reticle over target, concentrate on the reticle while gently squeezing the trigger...) Bang, Tink, Clank! This went on through 2 full rounds without a single miss: 10/10 at 100 yards (ok, actually about 98 and some change-but I couldn't range find specific distance on the spinner!), from a flimsy bipod! This thing just rocks! I really really like that .25 cal polygon setup a LOT!
Going to the club tomorrow to enjoy hanging out with my fellow shooters-wish you guys could join me there!

sean those groups are really nice. looks like you can do no rong in the accuracy dept. those raw rifle sure feel good in the prone don't they... are u using the lrt stock, if so I have one too and it just feels so good in the prone. gotta love that.
Upvote 0
Thanks! Yeah, I have a walnut LRT stock, made shorter LOP for me (13”). They do feel really good in prone-even with the fake Atlas bipod (gotta replace the PoS with a BT46-LW17 Atlas bipod...

sean that's one thing I don't have is a good bi pod. I just use bags as all I do is renchrest! mabe I need a good bi pod... I take it I need to but buy the real thing and not an over seas cheapie hey? how are you finding the copy fake one you have.
Upvote 0
Well, that's actually an interesting question-because I thought (when I bought it) I was indeed buying a REAL Atlas bipod, but after I knew what to look for (thanks to the BT Industries website), I later learned that I paid about $200 too much for what I bought-yep, I was pissed when I learned it... I contacted that seller and he played dumb with me. Granted, it took me over a year before I figured it out so he claimed 'too late' and 'I thought it was real too'. He is on this forum (not on the RAW Report thread so far) so I'll refrain from naming individuals.
Anyway, long story short: I had intended to buy a real one from the start (and paid the 'real one' funds for one)-but I ended up getting screwed. That is one item I will never buy used again unless I see photos of specific close up areas in detail to know its a genuine Atlas.

Dear friends Today I got the opportunity to use my HM1000X .25 with polygonal barrel 70 ftlb at 53 meters. I used 34 grain mk2 pellets. The first group was less than half inch but when I tried to use 25 grain pellets, these were all over the place. No group. I switched back to 34 grain pellets but the group was still not good enough. I checked the stock screw and scope mount screws. Cleaned the barrel. After some time 34 grain again started giving me good groups. I am unable to understand this phenomenon. It may be due to break in period as the gun has shot only around 300 pellets. Any idea about what other things I should check? Regards, Umair Bhaur

Mubhaur,
I'm certain you kn ow you may be approaching the top speed for most rigs using diablo ammo.
If possible, check the pellets first. Weight. head size. One reads often of different die or even just tins being just slightly different.
What is your group size?
John

my group size was extremely well at start. It was less than half inch at 53 meters but then it opened up to 3 inches when I used 25 grain pellets.
When again I rreverted yo 34 grain pellets from the same initial tin, the group was more than 1" at 50 meters.
