larky1 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Rapid 7..............please shop around and don't listen to all the RAPID boys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFox Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Go for the Rapid, mate. They are the best FAC guns in my opinion. Although the s410 is good in FAC. It depends on exactly what you wan't though, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmboy99 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 daystate are better guns from what im told but saying that i had a sub 12 s type and it was excellent. either way you'll have an excellent bit of kit. my mate has the air arms fac version of the s410 and swears by it. forgotten name now something like eliminator or destroyer etc you get the drift. but he doesnt get many shots runs his at 36ft/lb and i think he gets 30 might even be less i cant remember now. with the big buddy bottles you should get more out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the re-sale value is not alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrier Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Never forget the Gasram springers, my mate owns an Eliminator .25 28Ftlbs Very good in the field becouse of his balance and weight, (Laminated stock version) with a lot of inpact on a rabbits head. Me myself had a HW90K .25, 23ftlbs, also a very smooth shooter. Still regret that I swapped it for something else Good .25 pellets are H&N field target (HW90) and Silverpoints (Eli) Edited February 17, 2010 by terrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhw100 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yea i do like the s410s two of my mates have at sub 12lbft but i think id like something a bit different. Like i said ive already got a hw100k so thats out the window i do like the rapids but i dont really like the trigger guard it looks a bit weird. So much choice! i did fancy something synthetic just for a change. I want it for rabbits mainly as on one of our permissions they re well jumpy and we cant get closer than 50 yds at the mo and the landowner wont let us use rimfires! even tho he lets us use a 223. crazy man!

fireshot Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi Rapid all the way less to go wrong than gaystates if they do easy fix and many people around to fix as for Mk1/2 I`v got Mk2`s Regged never missed a beat , stocks are very easy to make loads of people make them if your near me come and try mine .

SirFox Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 One of my mates has a FAC, AA Shamal. He's had it about 15 years and knows it like the back of his hand. If you are going to go down the FAC route then I would stick to 30ftlbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 HW100, Rapid 7 or AA410..... personally the Rapid 7 wins for me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
