Very nice review roger. I never will run down a s10, a nice rifle i must say and roger it wont do more or less the a fine rapid will, both will give out the same performance as each other. Only things are the shot count for one , rapids can have a few modifications done, better stocks and the bolt action does need to come right back and down to reload where as the rapid once you've loaded the first pellet the reat is just pull bolt back and forward and your loaded.Plus I like the rapid mag better but still the BSA mag has been improved alot now and cycles perfectly.
There is a diffrence in the two as I've shot both the s10and bull barrel bsa's. I had a Hornet too by Bowkett anther lovely fine engineered rifle. No mistake the BSA's are the next step down fron the rapid in FAC format and they hold their ground all day long.
Happy shooting roger and say hello to Johnny for me ..oww and congratulations too.
