RAW REPORT

[marcella69]

"Imold"Just received 4 more tins of JSB 81,02's for the HMx for when I get it and going to call and order some of those 93's they've been shooting out of the BullDog with good results, I've also been busy with a few of my crossbows being Archery season has started, picked up 6 more arrows along with some NAP HellRazor broadheads, I should be good for deer so now it's just getting set up for yotes whether it's the HMx or a new Texan .45.

Wow, you could have gotten a good deal on six unopened tins of JSB .35s from me. Airgun Depot would have taken them back for a refund, but I would have had to eat shipping both ways. That wasn't worth it to me, so I just threw them in as a pot sweetener on my RAW sale.

 

[Imold]

Oh well, nothing wrong with using them as a sweetener.

 

[marcella69]

"Imold"Oh well, nothing wrong with using them as a sweetener.

Cripes, the lucky guy who bought her is gonna have to scrape off a thick layer of sugar before he can shoot her!

 

[Imold]

Yikes! Well at least you have the airgun that will do what you really want it to do without the over kill.

 

[marcella69]

"Imold"Yikes! Well at least you have the airgun that will do what you really want it to do without over the over kill.

Well, one year and five PCPs later, I finally found the right rifle for the job. But the journey sure was fun!

texan hm1000x bullboss ROYAL BULL DOG Marauder marauder marauder pistol hatsan bt IMOLD what scopes do you have 

 

[Imold]

A few different UTG's, a couple different Hawke's, a Leupold and a Vortex Viper and a Center Point on the Bullboss which actually isn't all that bad for a cheeper scope and a UTG Accushot 4-16 on my BullDog then I have a Hawke 4-16x44 on my Royale the Vortex Viper is going on the HMx and I'll put my Hawke 6-24x44 on the Texan .45, both my Marauders have Nikon BDC scopes on them and my Marauder pistol has a UTG 3-9x32 bugbuster on it and not sure what I'll do with my leupold scope. My rule on scopes is that I wount spend more then a 1/4 of what the gun is worth on them give or take a few bucks..I have come close to half the price of the gun before but only a couple times. I have mostly Nikons on my PB's...
If I was only limited to one all around Airgun then I would probably spend closer to 1/2 the value of the Airgun on a scope......The scopes I have now will get me from 25 yards out to 200 yards+ with no problem so I'm am pretty content with what I have on my airguns as of now.

 

[Hynzie]

the HMX wil get the VORTEX just a couple?s or opinions 30 mm? bug buster?

 

[Imold]

Most are 1" but a couple are 30mm, Vortex Viper is a 6.5-20x50 30mm.

 

[Imold]

Here is the UTG 3-9x32 Bugbuster on my Marauder pistol.

 

[Hynzie]

well i really like the looks of that pistol..i wishRAW would expand there line to cater to the small rigs they would be a hit ,,,or maybe just one lightweight carbine rig ,,it would be ballsy imo

 

[Imold]

"Hynzie"well i really like the looks of that pistol..i wishRAW would expand there line to cater to the small rigs they would be a hit ,,,or maybe just one lightweight carbine rig ,,it would be ballsy imo

Heck ya a Carbine in .25 even .30 would be sweet, something like a M2R, I'd be all over it for sure.

 

[Hynzie]

raw man i would love that,,i like ATTAMAN lots,, the nice would carbine or the big military painted green i like that to ,,mmm

 

[Imold]

If ya think about it a Carbine in .30 caliber would be the ultimate 25-75 yard small game hunting rifle then take the .357 and .45 for the 50-125 yard yote to deer rifle. Not to say that the .25 wouldn't be awesome for small game 25-75 yards but think we are more so talking .30 cal in a Carbine.

 

[Imold]

Should add that a RAW .30 cal designed around the Mini 14/30 rifle or the Socom would be ideal..

 

[Hynzie]

IMOLD any word yet TAW would be on my mind getting close hows the stand must be cool shooting in a downward angle need pix of ya shooting from it

 

[Dairyboy]

Have you guys checked out the WARP Cobras? I'll be getting one here in the next few weeks in .22 with a .30 barrel as well. I think there 40" or so

"Imold"Most are 1" but a couple are 30mm, Vortex Viper is a 6.5-20x50 30mm.

That's what's on my .30 RAW HM1000X. I discovered its sweet spot is at 18X. Very consistent and bright. I use the crosshairs for +/- from the 75 yards where it's sighted in. (My practical limit for shooting is 110 yards before it's off my property, something I avoid.)

Make sure you add a bubble level onto your scope and zero everything to the rifle's action. It makes a difference at distance, as does weighing out your pellets. That tiny variance in pellet weight grows to a big miss when the pellets vary by even .3 grain. Decent scales on Amazon are less than $15.

[Some of the above comments weren't intended for Imold whom I am sure needs very little "coaching" from me. But other, less experienced shooters might find some value in the extra suggestions I made.]

"Hynzie"IMOLD any word yet TAW would be on my mind getting close hows the stand must be cool shooting in a downward angle need pix of ya shooting from it

Nothing from Sandra yet but it's got to be close...

When I get time I'll get a few pics,I'm getting my boat and pontoon out plus a wet bike and a little 14ft Lund fishing boat that my dad bought back in 1968, those little aluminum boats take a beating and last a long time, I think you can see it in the pic with my Marauder pistol a few post up. I had a pacemaker check up in Fargo ND yesterday and stopped by the JD Dealer and checked out a 2038 for my property, kinda spendy for my blood..
Im going to need a new Airgun transportation vehical so I think I might sell my 05 F150 and trade in my 14 Explorer for a 2017 F150, they have a 10,500 rebate on remaining stock, would cost about 21,000 which isn't bad when all said and done plus the HMx would ride in style hahaha..going to see if I can get 7,500 for my 05 F150.

I like the AR style of the Cobra and I like the dual gauges but I have two others to save for before I think about a Cobra, it is nice.
