The Rapid is the only pcp that holds an attraction for me.

I regret not buying one when they were still making them.

I suspect the Rapid would hold its value better than the Air Ranger.

Sorry I can't say more.

The idea that a Daystate Air Ranger is is a 'different class' to the Rapid is to my mind 'an exaggeration'. They are both actually fairly similar rifles. Personally I found my Air Ranger fine but the Rapids suited me better. The ease of working on them is one factor I would use to put the Rapid ahead. I also don't like the bolt position on the AR, the Daystate magazine system is too prone to error and the position of the trigger suited me less well than on the Rapid. Against this the standard ambi thumbhole stock on the AR is much superior to the sporter stock fitted as standard on the Rapid. All in all they are both excellent air rifles which should give you a lifetime of good service.
