rapid 7 22 never fails

[rapidresponse1]

not had the rapid out for a while had a hour up the golf course with it these guns are honestly one of the best guns ive used,had this one many years now thought about selling it a few times but kept hold of it

[Shed tuner]

yup, they are classic.... hardly ever go wrong, and when they do simple to fix.

Still the best tool in the box for vermin work.

My mk1 had been standing for near 20 years , Accuracy was about ok, The hammer and bits etc had some kind of lube all over it, Cleaned it all off and after about 4 or 5 mags the accuracy became better and better , Think it just needed running in again,

Yes some old bloke bought it in 1995 , He was in his 80s when I bought it off him, Looked like the pellets I had with it had been stored in the sea, He bought the gun around retirement age but hardly used it, I shot a couple of mags but something wasnt right , I normally put paper up at different distances but I was having to adjust the scopes every couple of shots, Not much but did not seem to hold, The hammer, weight and spring seemed to have a coating on them and felt tacky, Cleaned them off and after that the more I shot it the better it got and seemed to hold as expected, Just think it needed a bedding back in,

i had an early 3 digit serial number mk1 which only failed once in all the years i owned it and that was a buddy bottle o ring.
excellent rifle but swopped it for a series 3 landy

Yes they are lots of better gun's now but for reliability and simplicity to work on not much to go wrong and for the nostalgia if your in your late 50s like me everyone wanted one back in the day lol

depends on what you want.. my rapid has a reg, SSG, QF, guage, gives loads of shots and is ridiculously accurate. That'll do me thanks

As you can on simplicity - I stripped an RWS Scimitar the other day - eash so many small pieces and unnecesary complexity... the Krals are nice and easy though.

don't know about better guns now.ive got an old mk1 .177 rapid that matched a Raw TM at 40 mtrs and this thing was built in 1991.admited its been moded but easly done.
