FX Impact sub 12 giving over 700 shots per fill................a little bit more than the Rapid me thinks.

Nowt wrong with the rapids i just dont like the look of them

but in saying that iv seen them put good numbers in the game bag

by the likes of FTM,,PAV,,VIZLAUK..

and there right just as good as a hw100 in any format cal or stock mk1 or two

A hw100 shooting 100 rabbits you will need to refill at least twice

mind i am coming round to buying a rapid soon just not yet

you only have to look at Billys and Pavs hunting posts to see how good they are .

The Theoben rapid, the original, is the first and best multi shot hunting focused PCP ever made. Those who say it's not don't know what there talking about quite honestly. 

Name another PCP thats proved itself time and time again with fieldsports in mind AND been going nearly 30 years AND still goes for £600+ AND is still used in the field...

Deffo a 2 mate, slight scoop on the rear of the action. I say deffo, but honestly, these days... we don't now with all the aftermarket mods available.

To be honest Mac, I get that, I get what your saying... the look ain't for everybody, but that's why I personally like them, there not about being handsome, or appealing to a market or trend, there about doing a job.

They look how they look for a purpose they're intended. A tank, a barrel, a loading mech, some wood. Job done.
