top end expensive rifles

[j j m 6,481]

i sold all of my guns like the 2 fx impacts my wilcat my maverick and just kept the one gun my faithefull r7 mk1 with gauge and quick fill fitted this gun is a dream to shoot,and and since ive been sticking to one gun not chopping and changing ive found im shooting much better the rapid has been around for years but can still hold its own with the expensive stuff

May be in sub 12 , but at FAC level they are old hat . Nearly had a mfr a few years ago before they went under . Lucky I shot a rapid for a couple of days before I pushed the button. Thank god I did much prefer my HW100 

looks like you have jelled with the rapids

I tend to agree that using just one gun be a considerable advantage to successful hunting. There is an old saying, 'beware the shooter with only one gun'.    If I stick with the Impact, I get into a flow which seems to work, switch to my rimmy and it just doesn't click with me and apart from close up stuff when I use the Snowpeak P35, I am only using the Wildcat fac at the moment and the results show my comfort with this gun. 

I really don't think it is the  fact that you are sticking with the Rapid and it being better but you have great confidence with that gun which is more to the point. What goes on between our ears makes the difference quite often.

JJM is spot on about using one gun 

I use the crown more than any of my other guns , including FX impact .25 , .22lr and HMR all FAC and HW 100k sub 12 , although I do use the ultra a lot at night

Yerr, ‘tis true. I do most of my shooting with my gat gun. I’m so good with it now and I can put five corks into a three foot circle at four paces.........sometimes

Using a spring piston rifle to a high standard and for a decent length of time and then start using a pcp, normally ends with the pcp giving back a high standard of marksmanship.

               Never, ever seen it  happen the other way round.

very true you learn how to shoot well or not at all with a springer.consistancy/technique are learned.as for pcp,s you can shoot them with many flaws and still shoot well but try to shoot a springer with bad habits picked up from having no skill will result in "this gun is shit i can not hit anything and i will sell it within a week".did pick up the latest fx something grs yesterday and was very impressed with it.about half the weight of my hw100ktl but twice the price.
