Here's my RAW HM1000x custom built for me by Martin at airguns-usa.com in .177 caliber for 100 yard benchrest shooting. It does shoot MOA with Zan 13.4 gr slugs at 1010 fps. Martin is truly a wizard at this.
My First BB gun! Got it for Xmass on my birthday in 1967'. Mine had the wood stock but it was identical otherwise. I used to spend my entire allowance on BB's for years. I shot 10's of thousands of BB's through it while I ruled the neighborhood woods. I was a skinny little kid at that age, I had t cock it by putting all my weight on the stock to compress the barrel. I even still have a scar on my foot where I shot myself through my sneaker cocking it on my foot! It's still in the safe and comes out for a nostalgic trip to childhood now and then.
I sold three airguns last weekend so I bought two more, lol. This is one of them.
Just a while ago today I took the first shots out of my new Skout EVO 22 cal. It has the 1 in 15.75" barrel for long slugs. I tried the Altaros 32.3gr and 40gr King in the 55 fpe area which is the factory setting it came in. Both shot about the same and pretty good too considering the gusts of up to 12 mph. Man the trigger is set at only 2oz!!! Ergos fit me well and I like the firing cycle feel.
Only the beginning so I'll fine tune to the required sub 50 fpe limit for a upcoming match in the next two weeks. Hoping to use it in the next FullMonty UFT 72 round match in Phoenix at the end of this month, which is the main reason I got this EVO.
