    MFR for me in .177.

    Early one with MFR on the block.

    Bought it new but was totally inaccurate.

    After a new barrel under warranty it has been faultless.

    My Mk1 R7 is running at 30ft lbs in .22, flat flying and hard hitting!!! Just the job
    Had it for 19 years now and never missed a beat. Ultra reliable and comfortable to use, beautifully ugly and agricultural but dead on accurate!!!!
    Modified the Gamo lousy trigger with a Charlie Tuna item and a vast improvement plus a UKNeil vortex
    What isn't there to love about them

    For me my favourite springer is the HW80 and PCP the R7
    John Darling JD (1946-2004) was my inspiration to be the best i can and enjoy the sport i love. R.I.P
    A dedicated HW80 Fanatic and owner since 1986 to present.

    Rapids just feel "right" when you shoulder them.

    The Simmons Pro Air were a cracking scope.

    Probably quite heavy by today's standards but there won't be much in the sensible money market that beats them optically.

    The old aetecs and wtc's were the same. I loved my old aetec and wore it on a mk1 rapid with pride for years.

    My current (early) mk1 factory fac has got a 4-12x vortex diamondback up top which is a worthy little scope as well.
