I think there shit
Cat among the pigeons.
There not. Course there not. But my old 100 didnt do anymore, regarding accuracy, reliability, usability and filling the game bag, than my rapid or HM does. In fact, I could propose my rapid at 20 years old is a better rifle. It's done what the 100's do, and it's done it for 10 years more.
In fact, pretty much % of all rapids have done. Give it another 10 years, and if the 100 is still performing... (as in the 1st gen ones, not the brand spank 2nd gen that literally EVERYONE has) then bang on... but then the rapid will STILL be 10 years a
