    Rapid single shot adaptor

    Hi,
    Has anybody any experience with the various rapid single shot adapters: that is which ones are best?
    I'm looking at getting one for my rapid (which doesn't have the scalloped block) and I am wondering how they are in actual use?
    Thanks
    Dave

    I have hands like a bunch of bananas, I don’t have any problems loading pellets into my rapids, it’s a knack to get it right but easy once learned.

    I have found them all to be a waste of money.

    Every one I have used has been a variant of a plastic shape inserted into the breech slot. The only design I like is the one for the HW100 where part of the adapter swings out and makes pellet insertion very easy. OK I don't have large fingers so manual insertion isn't a problem for me.
    If one works for you then fine but I suspect that in due course all of them will be left behind when you go shooting. The only solution for Rapid users who need single shot loading on a regular basis is to have a Rapid block with the scalloped loading port. Everything else is a poor compromise.

    Yes mate, just pick what side you load from

    I too have sausage fingers and spent to long trying to load and messed to many pellets up trying, the loader just makes it simple/easy esspecially when bench rested
