My RAWs and Prophet LR are my most accurate rifles at distance.
The group Bob showed of the Thomas rifle is an exceptional grouping. Someone mentioned it grouped better than most rimfires and he is right. In fact most out of box rimfires will not come close to that at 50 yards. Shooting MOA at 100 yards consistently is difficult unless the rifle is designed for bench shooting IME.

I have a NICE "gently modified" Savage MkII and my Lelya outshoots it out to ~80 yards for me, 110 yards for my wife with match-grade ammo. I'm better at reading conditions IE: wind/hold-over but she has better form (lol).Down the road, I'm probably going to sink the coin into a Prophet or similar, but the main shooting I do now is long-range plinking (cans on a string at 100+) and sniping HOSPs out to about 60-80 yards with our .35s. It's either a clean miss or a feather-splosion. The Thomas rifles are superb, but like the RAW PCPs, I don't think I'm accurate enough to rationalize the "cost of entry". If Sonja ever decided to get into competing, I'd likely end up with the RTI given the inherently adjustability.
