Rapid 12 .20

[grezoor]

Just a quicky , is the rapid 12 in .20 a desirable rifle? I've been offered one and I'm not entirely sure about the calibre being a popular option, I've had a look back over the archives on here and most of them seem to be fac rated but this one isn't , serial number is four digits so maybe an early one perhaps, I'm just looking for an opinion good or bad before I spend some hard earned dosh

I may be the wrong type of person to answer, here, as I'd have sheds full of air guns given half the chance ( ), but i.m.o., yes they are collectable, and if looked after, it will hold it's value ( but what do I know ). If you want it and can afford it ( stuff justifying it lol ), yep, go ahead and buy it.

If the price is right Graham, buy it.
Friend has the .20 and its a gem. John

I think I remember you did, once...

As for the OP, I'd say they're definitely getting that way. Rapids have always held value well anyway and I can't see that changing now the original company are no more...

Thanks for your input lads I've just done the deal it's just missing the scope mounts so on the look out for some.

Indeed -- but a rather acrimonious divorce put pay to that.
