Acuspell 329 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Like this one! .20 - it is the only way to go for hunting at sub 12ft-lbs - and I even prefer it at 20ft-lbs. Quote Link to post

Johnboysxv 1 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I just upgraded to a bsa R10 after a superten & I love it such a nice looking gun & shoots spot-on mk1 had a few probs but mk2's are good! Quote Link to post
Kent_keith 46 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Spend an extra 50 pound and buy a HW100, course I might be a little biased but if you have never tried one, do before you make up your mind Quote Link to post

browning gts 11 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 how does the rapid 7 proform? Quote Link to post
Acuspell 329 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I also have a Rapid - superb. They are bomb proof and those in the know are snapping them up. I have a friend who has bought 5 since Theoben closed their doors (on top of the 3 he already had). Price of Rapids is going up....mine is not for sale. That is also in .20 Easy to work on, rugged, reliable and very strong. Accuracy is excellent, every bit as good as any modern rifle. The Rapid can hold its own in any company. Quote Link to post

Acuspell 329 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 About the same weight as the Huntsman actually - not heavy, but meaty where it matters, the action is strong enough to take 60ft-lbs easily in .22 Cost? Budget on £500 and be surprised when you manage to find one at £400 or less - and even if it has problems, the £100 will have it like new - they really are VERY simple and easy to make right - absolutely right.
