Rapid Air HM1000X .357 Walnut, Regulated With Quick Fill & Gauge
Made in America

The .357cal is available built on our already proven HM1000x action and valving system, it can be supplied in any of the stock configurations already available for the "X" rifles, Right or left hand Sporter and Right or left hand Thumbhole, Both Laminate and Walnut versions can be supplied, the stock comes fitted with an adjustable butt pad and stippled for a secure grip.

The .357 comes fitted with a Carbon Fiber sleeved barrel and Carbon Fiber Moderator, 7 shot magazine, 480cc Carbon Fiber bottle filled to 230bar and is fitted with our regulated "V" quick fill and gauge set up, the power is set at just under 100ft lbs with the 80gr JSB pellets, a minimum of 25 shots will be given at the regulated pressure.

Weighing in at 9lb 12oz with a standard laminate stock and 8lb 12oz with the walnut, the rifle is 46" 1/4 long.

This is a serious Hunting Rifle which is accurate out to 100yds (we have seen 1" - 2" 10 shot groups from out of the tin ammo) testing fully all variations of power and accuracy even taking an unregulated rifle up to 140ft lbs, however the ammunition available performs best at a maximum of 100ft lbs, at 100yds we have chronographed the rifle and it still has 55ft lbs of energy.

A note: the .357 action, magazine and barrel will not interchange with any other RAW or Theoben rifles, all these components have been machined wider and thicker to allow for the larger ammunition.


machined into the action is a new style Picatinny rail with 22 MOA to give the shooter added ability to zero at longer distances, Both Picatinny and Weaver mounts will fit,The Rifle can be single shot loaded, The trigger is a fully adjustable sporting version of our TM1000 target trigger with an added safety catch,

All Aluminum parts are coated for protection and the internal components are hand finished, hammer and trigger parts are hardened and polished for extra smoothness in reloading as well as making for a cleaner firing cycle, the sidelever linkage and bolt have been hardened ready for a lifetime of work.

The Rapid Air Weapons Hunting Master (HM1000X) is the newest addition to the Rapid Air Hunting Master 1000 lin-up. It is, without a doubt, one of the finest PCP air rifles on the market today. The fit and finish is excellent, the build quality is second to none and it's Lothar Walther Match Grade barrel yields exactly the kind of top shelf accuracy one would expect. The rifle comes standard as a regulated rifle and the rifle we tested shows just how consistent a regulated rifle can be. The standard laminate stock was comfortable to hold and shoot and surprisingly the rifle was very quiet for a 50+ fpe rifle. Needless to say, the trigger was crisp and clean and the side cocking lever indexed the magazine flawlessly and easily. This is a top of the line rifle and if a hunter misses with this gun, he can only blame himself.

Thie HM1000X is definitely in a superior power range for hunting purposes. Not so powerful that it overpowers most pellets yet with multiple times the power needed for small game hunting purposes.
All in all, serious hunters should not overlook this rifle. There are more powerful rifles out there but few will match this rifle's accuracy or quality. It's available in .25 caliber at this time.
