My New TM1000

Second match shooting my new TM100 in HV with AA 10.3's. The rifle is completely stock with the original Lothar Walther 12 groove barrel... the only thing I have done to it is adjust the trigger for a lighter break (2.5oz) and reduce the velocity (hammer spring preload) to 900 fps. I over filled it slightly on the first card and it took me half a card to get my sight settings. It doesn't like monsters and 8.4's but shoots several lot numbers of 10.3's well. My first pair of 250's in HV and good x count.

I'm very happy with this gun...

My first RAW hasn't been productive in over a year of trying several barrels, regulators, regulator settings, valves, valve return springs, tune methods and 25+ lot numbers of pellets; the TM1000X hasn't been good for HV, this year's project is to see if it can be productive as an open class rifle.

Have Fun,

Boomer
