Why are they cheap? Because there are so many up for sale. Supply and demand. Rapids hold their money. Mid to late 1980s Rapids still command £400+ a rifle that has stood the test of time. The HW100 will be another one. They are excellent, but the Rapid started it all (first production magazine fed PCP) and they are so reliable, so easy to fix, cheap to get spares for and will run up to 150ft-lbs with only a little alteration (I have a friend in Belgium with a Rapid in .25, specially buit for him by Theoben an dit is running at 148ft-lbs, he hits spinners set out at between 400m and 750m with it! He also shoots small boar and roe with it, very effectively. HW100 = blinged. Nicely engineered, but why put a shiney, yellow gauge on the front where everything can see it? Very heavy too. I have a friend with one and it is perfectly OK, shoots very well, but I wouldn't spend my money on one. You don't need to spend that much! 1 Quote Link to post
