libs Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 The Rapid in general is a legend. Sortov kickstarted the PCP revolution so it must be fairly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdubya Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 have both 12lb HW no contest, fac rapid simple as Cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 It is down to you to make the choice. Both are accurate and decent guns. It is all down to personnal choice. If weight is an issue go light, or get a set of dumbells! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid the sniper Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 My Rapid m2 from day 1 was leaking and would give about 50 shots from filling it right up, it got sent back to theoben and came back no better! The gunsmith then managed to fix it after theoben had it for 5 weeks. Also the bolt flicks up all the time and loads 2 pellets in- but i still like it though i dont know why- maybe because its so accurate but,im still conscidering buying an HW and keeping the rapid.

bullet boy Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Theres no contest in my book-the Theoben Rapid beats the lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 it's all a matter of personal taste. yeah the HW100 is heavier, but it's got an amazing trigger, and a superb cocking system that's impossible to double cock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireshot Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi my first pcp was a HW 100 Ihad it 4month`s of which Hull cartridge had it for 3 it was a shame as I liked it, noe own Rapids FAC and 12flb love them to bit`s simple to fix lots of people who can fix them rather than Theoben and the old saying is : if it`s not broke Dont fix it: RAPIDS ALL THE WAY from now on.

tweedledee Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 have to say in 12 ft lb format the hw will be as good as any rapid.it has a nicer cocking action and mag system is unbeatable.i have a mk2 rapid in fac.without a doubt the rapid takes the prize when going fac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
