Theoben Rapid ........

I went to visit a mate today and i was telling him about how i was back rabbit hunting. He asked what rifle i had and i told him a good mate had loaned me his Gamo Maxima. He offered me the use of one of his rapids saying give this ago and you will want one. Now, having never used a rapid before i didn't quite know what to expect, very well balanced, not to heavy, easy to use bolt system....all in all a very nice rifle.
 Then came the first shot...WOW...as i gently pulled back the trigger all i heard was a whisper and the pellet hit the target @ 25 yards. All the other shots were just like the first and the grouping was perfect. All 12 pellets inside a 20mm kill zone at 25 yards. I'm not one for paper punching but i thought i would just try it again, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I got the same result on that card too....i knew they were good but i didn't realise they were this good.






As i am in the market for a new rifle i would love to own one but i am undecided. I also like the
BSA R10 and the logun S16s so i willhave to have a think.

well having owned all 3 rifles you mentioned i can deff say the rapid out does the other 2,the s16 is a good rifle..if your lucky as theres alot of dudd ones about,the r10 is a cracking rifle but again you get alot of problems,i spent a fortune on mine and in the end i gave it away,the rapid....well tough,accurate,reliable what more can you say.

Hi there, just a quick comment, i have owned 2 of the 3 rifles mentioned and found the rapid to be the best one, if you intend to carry your rifle for a while i would avoid he s16 as they are horrendously heavy
