Theoben Rapid

[mendiplogs]

Yup that's the one Stubby.

Regulated straight out the factory altho ive changed my reg for an xtx reg (plug and play.

.22 160 ish shots per charge. Ive got the bullpup barrel and silencer and its quieter than a mouses fart. Im not as steady as I once was but can still put 10 shots through the same hole all be it a bit ragged with jsb exacts or bisley magnums. Chrono it and every shot will be within 4 feet per second of each other.

I cant be doing the likes of airarms s410 where you need to charge it up every 40 shots or so...

Hi jon me ole mate.

I went for the longer barrel (15" I think it is) over the shorter one. My reason being although the short barrels maybe more advantageous in a tight spot a) they aren't so accurate and b) they actually need more air to get up to full power so less shots per charge.

As you say earlier the same factory as what produced theoben. Years ago I had the eliminator and a hyeuda fenman which where both very good. I wish I had never got rid of the eliminator it was a cracking gun.

Little is known about the impacts yet being so new but im sure if they live up to the theoben reputation you wont be disappointed. Ive not seen an impact yet let alone shot one unfortunatly

My £100 special - came rifle only(S300) for that price without the silencer and tele but was an absolute bargain - Airarms offer a decent product for a price that fits. Converted from a single shot to magazine with a Rowan Engineering adaptor - some call it the S305!

As for .20 calibre they do appear to be getting more common although remember choice of pellet is still very much limited still. Air rifles for superior accuracy need to be pellet matched and what works well in one wont work well in another.

I don't know if pellpax do .20 but you would be well advised to get a selection of 10 different types of pellet from them and find which one suits the best. (unfortunately that's probably every type of .20 pellet made...)

I think that one was a cheap Chinese telescopic zoom, mil dot lit reticule special - works pretty well TBH, it holds accuracy with no issues!
