R10 mk2 or rapid7 mk2

[richc12 84]

having just picked up some new permission which is crawling with rats, ive decided to invest in a good air rifle...

 

i had a AA 400 a few years back, wish i hadnt sold it now....

 

which rifle would you folks go for and why .... pros on cons please...

 

i carnt justify a new rapid 7.... a bit expensive for me , but thought bsa r10 mk 2 might be the trick...

 

thanks... rich

My mates r10 is accurate lovely wood and bang on power an consistency mate can't fault it

Don't know much about Rapids to be honest, but I love my R-10 mk 1 and from what I've heard, a good mk 2 is brilliant!

[richc12 84]

thanks for the replies lads.... was wondering if id be better with a new r10 mk2 over a used rapid 7.... wether they were in the same league etc

 

and if you had the money , is the a new rapid better or not?...... or should i just save the extra and get the r10 mk2?

i would go for the new r10 over a used rapid ,unless you can drop on a clean one ,

but if i have a choice of both new i would say the rapid they are a bit more workman like and they do hold there money ,

rapids are a lot easier to work on too, no problem to service at home. i had a mk1 r10 when they first came out, and happened to blag a rapid not long after. got shot of the r10 within 18 months, and still have the rapid. much prefer the theoben, but apparently the mk2 r10 is a different beast altogether.

 

cheers, wurz

Could be that there have been a lot sold, as they are more affordable. Personally i've had no problems,

 

A blueprinted secondhand one would be a good deal

do they do 17 shot mags for mk11 rapid in .177...

 

Yes Mate that's what Mine is, Have a look above at My MK 2 .177 17 shot Mag is standard for .177.
