You better put the brakes on the add-ons or she's gonna be as heavy as the RAW!"Imold"
Yep and you can extend it out and you can also loosen the two locking discs and it folds up, this one is a Accu-Shot and was 80 bucks, think they are affiliated with Atlas but not 100% sure."marcella69"
Oh, so that's how the monopod is used! I was thinking that it went on the forestock. I've never seen a set-up like that. Pretty cool"Imold"Better pic.
Well, one of the reasons I wanted my RAW was to push the envelope on how much I could grunt in the field. I know where the tear point is now!
Hahaha it dressed as much as it's going to be..it's still light compared to my other airguns......"marcella69"

Very nice rifle Imold, be sure to post some target pics!"Imold"Well we need to have something to talk about while we are waiting for our RAW's to arrive.....I'll move on after these two pics.
Here it is at home for 1st time naked and afraid........And then dressed and happy..
I wanted a HMx .357 to shoot coyotes and other invasive pests and to shoot gongs........before I knew you and you were getting one I had read some reviews on it but the price had me flinching but after getting on this thread I figured why not it's a quality built Airgun and made in the good old USA....
Congrats and be patient, I put my order in July 5th for a HMx .357 regulated to 130ft/lbs with a special ordered custom Blue Thumbhole stock,the Euro rail and rear sling swivel stud, it shouldn't be to long now, just waiting for the email or call from Sandra..
Thats going to be a very nice rifle! I was told 12-14 weeks for mine, so I won't see it until November. Martin and Sandra are top notch folks. Martin was very helpful in answering my questions and helping me to order the 100+ yard target rifle I was looking for.
Ok now you got me, as they say curiosity killed the cat so please tell...What did you order from Martin?
I told Martin that my goal was precision and consistency at 100 yards. We talked about calibers, actions, barrels and stocks. I took his advice and went with the following;
Nope, I'm just ichin to pull the trigger for the 1st time and I have a couple of yotes that need to be relocated and if the pelts are good maybe get a winter hat out of the deal hahaha...Only good yote is a dead yote around here, to many dairy and cattle farms around here and they raise havic during calfing time.
Hi, Steve; welcome to the RAW Club! You won't regret it. I had my RAW HMx 1000x .357 (130 ft-lbf regulated) rifle with Forest Green laminate thumbhole stock and adjustable cheek-piece out in the field for the first time today for an afternoon of pure hunting. (Just got back, tired 'n sweaty.) The highlight was right before sunset: 102 yd head shot on Bugs Bunny. What's up Doc, my ass!
Nitrocrushr, you'll really like the 10 oz trigger. Mine is set to 10.5 oz w/ 1/8" first stage (no second stage). This is perfect for me. I love the fair amount of travel before buttin' up against the second stage, and then just a nice gentle squeeze... BAM!! Dead bunny ;-). I don't want the trigger weight to interfere with my concentration in keeping my sight picture.
I'm seriously looking for something more compact and lighter. I love the power and accuracy of my RAW .357; but at 57 y/o w/ diabetes and arthritis, I just don't stow the gear necessary like I used to. I like to roam around out there looking for game. I can't do that with this behemoth. Cripes, the rifle scabbard / backpack necessary weighs almost as much as the rifle! Then, with my pony bottle, fuhgeddaboudit! I'm humpin' 30 pounds out there! was hoping I could handle it because the ballistics on this honey are exactly what I was searching for. But, alas...
