DukesArcher Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Your best bet is to look out for one on the Rapid7 forum, they come up from time to time but none of them are cheap, I have a perfect Mk1 Rapid and I know I could get £200 more than I paid for it but it has only had 200 pellets through it from new. MFR’s Are holding thier money, and getting difficult to find a good one expect to pay £800 You could look at the RAW HM1000 series which is a Rapid based copy that is very good and you can buy it new sold by Michael Tawn The boys on the rapid7oc will put you right about what to avoid they are a very friendly bunch. The Rapid has it’s critics but it has stood the test of time and it might be ugly to some, but it’s main function of being a reliable accurate air rifle it’s still one of the best out there. Kev1gun The RAW HM1000 looks to be a serious bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 The wood on my Rapid is nothing like as nice as these, as kev says not everyone's taste but there still performing, as an engineer that speaks volumes to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshootist Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Just for you Duke WP_20171027_18_08_53_Pro_648x364.jpg WP_20171027_18_09_19_Pro_480x640.jpg WP_20171027_18_09_31_Pro_480x640.jpg Ha ha thanks for posting. I loved reading JD articles in the 1990s and lusted after a Rapid 7 as a result. When you look at the innovation, build quality and aesthetics aof the Theoben range, it was a truly amazing company. Sadly all the innovation in airguns is happening abroad now - FX and edgun for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Well I read two and a half msgs some of the articles seemed really really dated, can't think why, others could have been written this week, half the reason I've kept them certainly interesting, things like pellet prices I went in gun shop last week and couldn't believe your looking at £12 for a tin of accupell I last payed £6-50 probably 15 years ago when I bought ten tins but they were about £2 a tin back in 91.
