    I hope the prices keep rising for un tampered rapids.

    Im sure the prices will keep rising as demand is constant and with owners always wanting anothrr one, lets see what the American versions like when its done, even then I think the original will be even more sought after

    The old Rapids bring a high price for the same reason the almost identical RAW rifles go for over $2000. with a six month waiting list. ... The design is sound and uncluttered. They have the potential for extreme accuracy, are solid, no nonsense, and a great example of "form follows function". What's not to like?
