RAW Rapid TM1000X Benchrest .22 with Benchmark Barrel

[Dairyboy]

Yeah...I did like the looks of the eclans when those were made.

Is that the right word or am I out of the loop?

It is a Theoben with a small cylinder that is hidden within the stock. Makes for a really cool looking rifle.

JPS that is indeed a nice rifle, the stock is quite nice as well.

The one thing I wish these rifles did have was a thicker barrel. Not sure why but a more stout barrel would look much better over all on the rifle.

the clearance i have between the barrel and the bottle is .74mm ...about the thickness of a credit card

I know how close the barrel is to the barrel, I have a few in my safe. I just like the look or a chunky barrel. The one on my Dawson is massive. But that is also a cut out carbon tube. Could do the same with a barrel, would just need to remove material to make the bottle fit. Tricky I know to cut and not bugger up the barrel as well.

A 5/8” or 16mm barrel with a 1mm CF wrap is amply stiff and all you can fit in a RAW.

Making an asymmetrical profile barrel just because it looks more beefy - I would want nothing to do with that, personally.
