Others RAW BAD BARREL

[Auto1191]

Got a brand new RAW LRT .22 cal . After initial testing with 33.4 grns @ 922 fps @ 60 yards my best 20 shot group including flyers @ 3 7/8 with the majority being 1 3/4 inch. The 28 grns @ 970 fps 20 shot group @ 2 1/2. The majority being at 1 3/4 inches. The 25 grns right about the same as the 28s. Good enough for hunting but not definitely very satisfing paper puncher. Usually a great target paper puncher will give you a nuch more consistant anticipation of shot impact placement. It is a shame the Raw barrel is so nicely machined. They need to ditch the polygon system

Polygon barrels are typically better with slugs. Could it be your form? I know personally i find id harder to shoot slugs extremely precisely than pellets

Raw states the LRT was designed to shoot the 25.39 pellets I sent this rifle to a well renowned Air rifle specialist. He confirmed the barrel was horrible A far cry from being a LRT

Sorry for some reason i got the impression you were shooting slugs. Poly is good on pellets too. I would suggest you push a pellet through the barrel feeling for rough or very tight spots you could then polish them with jb bore bright as this might help accuracy.

I removed the barrel & pushed the pellet right through with little to no effort
You have to re-read my orginal post. Thank You I spoke to RAW today they said they wanted me to send the barrel , so they would say , OH there is nothing wrong with it. In my opinion I set this rifle to someone who knows this rifle inside & out. One of the Best in the Business. A true airgun smith

If a pellet went through with little to no resistance the bore is on the large size there should be some resistance and a bit more when you hit the choke about an inch before exiting the barrel
