midnight 657 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 sorry about this mate but iv been shooting pcp rifles for 14 years and i borowed a mates for a few months . it was a mrk 2 in .22 calli with pa scope and logan silencer . gota say after years of reading how good they are etc etc i was over the moon to have one on loan... WHAT a disapointment it was . heavy poorly balanced and clombersome. i thought the bolt and meconisam was dated and way to basic and crude . im not into .22 at all and thought the range on it was shit. after along time i did get the hang of it but never thought of it as a good gun or nice to shoot. the mag system is also poor and a fooking fidly basturd to do with cold hands and or with the rifle tucked under your arm. i also like the look of the mfr and if the mrk2 had been good i would have bought that model. but as i say i thouight it was shit so im binn that idea. i am only saying what i think and thousands of other guys realy like the rapid and im sure it works well for them . im not looking to start arguments either so soryy if i ofended you . all the best with the new gun and i hope ypu dont feelthe same as me about the rapid all the best matt. pss the mfr has a smaller buddy bottle so will only offer a much limited amount of shots , which in my mind takes away from the original point of the rapid . so in those turms there is alot better pcp weapons out there that offer a 10 shot mag as standard and at a lighter weight and better finish and balance .

bill88 6 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Lots of cheaper guns around mate,but like they say "you get what you pay for"don't have a rapid meself,but i know lots of lads who do.Whenever they do get rid of one its only to buy another rapid.Only prob's i know of are the mag,they are a bit fiddley and once they get a bit mucky they tend to jam up.

Guest tossa Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 midnight i understand where your coming from, hated the rapid when i first saw it tried bsa , aa @ falcon, once you get used to a rapid they are the dogs bollx dont think i'd use any other, own a mk1 customised and a ben taylor mk2 really easy to work on :whistle: but there not every ones cup of tea Quote Link to post
midnight 657 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 tossa you could be right mate , as i say most folks realy like the gun and get good results from them . i just dont think i would part with my money for one. this might make you laugh the best gun or the gun i had most fun with was my air arms s200 standard . i killed some much stuff with that gun it was untrue. i even droped a tael at 45 yards with it head shot.. thats a gun you get good value for money with . iv not tryed it with the 10 shot mag system yet but it can only improve on a truly good gun. pissed about with the new logan with the thumb hole stock a few weeks ago and still thought the airarms out shot it . but it was a lovly gun and very nice to handle . it felt like i was carrying over a £1,000 worth of gun (witch i was) big problem for me was that it was so long ... but the carbine would suit me better i think. alll the best matt Quote Link to post
Guest bravo24v Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 i just traded the s200 in for my MFR, i had the 10 shot mag and all the brass bit's on it, killed 2 rabbits, but hit about 30, i didn't like that gun i must say!!!!! Quote Link to post
Guest Woody Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I've never had a problem with any Theoben. all the Rapids I've ever used have been a dream. Quote Link to post
