bullet boy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 In my opinion the best air rifle ever is the Theoben Rapid.For shots per charge and accuracy,this is the rifle to beat. What do others think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 IMO the greatest air rifle ever would be the BSA Mod D or L over engineered and made with high quality steel, accurate, robust and still holding its' own decades on Doubt my Rapid 17 will be doing the same after a century Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number of shots!? What? You mean you lads get more than 8 shots per fill part of the fun is having a go with the pump BB, you know the only PCP i own is a Sam Yang, so i will have to say that she is the most brilliant of all PCP's ever made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuck1 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 My vote goes to the Meteor. I reckon thousands started their shooting career with one. Basic, cheap and fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilstoat Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 BSA super 10 for shots accuracy, best rifle i have ever shot, and i have shot a few since starting shooting, or the HW77K HW97K for springer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
410PHIL Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 HW77K I love mine, heavy accurate robust and never misses. I love mine more than roll moll herrings and I really love them!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 i'll second the HW77K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03luffmb Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 BSA Meteor maybe not the best for accucary power or any of that. But its what ever one uses to start off lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Mark Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I think everyone is going to say their favourite rifle, So mine has to be my Daystate Air Ranger .22, Never shot a rapid but will do and think it will be my next gun (When the credit crunch is over!!!!)

Toombsy Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am a fan of the old break-barrel design and although I absolutely adore using my HW35E, I wish I had saved that extra £50-odd quid at the time and got myself a 77K instead. I borrowed my mates quite a few times and didn't want to give him it back! So, HW77K gets my vote. I am surprised no-one's mentioned the old Theoben Scirocco. Back in the mid to late 80s that was the airgun to drool over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 It would have to be one with "soul". As much as I love my AAS410 and it has character I would have to vote for the .......................... BSA Meteor. Endless variations and each with soul.

fatcontroller Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I love my HW77, but I just got the HW100. I have owned the 77 for over 10 years and it has never let me down. The HW100 is a fantastic gun. So HW77 or HW100......? HW100 FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim145 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 There are more accurate, more complicated, more powerfull - "better" rifles, but for an influence to shooting the Meteor gets it. I agree though that the HW77 is up there, as is Webleys MKIII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
