davyt63 1,845 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'm considering getting a Theoben Rapid Mk 2 (Maybe FAC) Any reviews Guys hi buddy a nice choice of rifle there but can I ask why you want a F.A.C and not a 12ft/lbs ? you just as well get a rim fire ? Davy Quote Link to post
Daz 7 563 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Good Choice Buddy Like Davy Say's why go FAC Air you'd be better off with a powder burner If staying sub 12 ft lbs you cant beat a MK 2 Rapid , Heres Mine as it was, It's Different now has it's now got a 280 cc Buddy bottle instead of the 400 cc, Has i've got a CS 800 Custom Skeleton MFR stock Coming this week. regards Daz.

Railwayman303 0 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi Davy ... The main reason for FAC is that I find stalking physically difficult and would like to improve range of shots. However, I am a fairly new shooter and a member of a local shooting club, but am open to advice from more experienced hunters Quote Link to post
