Theoben rapid 7


Recommended Posts

villaman  are you fishing for a bite?  a rapid  may be old on the outside but  modern upgrades  will  have it match most modern pcp and it WILL outlast the lot of them -fact!

To many old people trying to relive there youth ?

Best field rifle ever made. No one can deny longevity and the original, decent unfettled ones still command near on a grand asking price. I doubt many rifles these days will do the same 30 years on fr

Im one for the rapid. They might be old and like a 1970’s car, simple technology and easy to work on and upgrade, and that’s the beauty of the 7 perhaps. Simplicity.

No doubting the Rapid design is old but it is a very easy gun to work on and its design is such that each and every part can and is being upgraded/modified to keep it up to date with todays latest guns .Silent hammer pips/quickfills/inertia savers/trigger upgrades/improved valving/modified reg cores/shrouds etc where all brought to the Rapid platform by enthusiasts. A lot of these things that Theoben themselves said could not be done .

And that can be done to most guns as well and not just rapids

What other airgun has the ability in its design to have every working part upgraded like the Rapid platform when upgrades do become available ? What other airgun has a thriving community behind it designing and making these upgrades ? What other pcp airgun 25+ years old still has the following,reliability and holds its price like a Rapid ?

and dont forget who helped design  the fx royal /crown . the very same person who  had a huge hand in the mighty rapid -ben taylor

Ben Taylor also worked for FX for a time and no doubt worked on and had input on other FX models in there range .

Don’t worry, we all love FX’s too mate ? ?

I don’t think so only the old timers are coming out saying they don’t make them like they use to 

Looks like the only thing which makes them get a hard on is old rapids :laugh:

Going forward. The brocock  bantam..  new wave rapid 7..  its a beast   I've got light weight stock and carbon fibre buddy.  Its a dream to shoot with.. . Its 177    never let's me down. And can be tweeted with an inch of its life..   Hard core. But that's  against the law. ..
