    Theoben Rapid. I had wanted one since I very first saw them, but didn’t get one until about 2015. The biggest problem with it was that I had had many quality PCP’s by that point, and every single one of them did everything better than the Rapid did.

    HW98. As accurate as anything I have used but just didn't gell
    Diana mauser 97. Poor build quality and design (and instruction to put 2 drops of oil into the cylinder via the transfer port every 500 shots)
    On the other hand my TX200 HC is my go to

    2 spring to mind.
    1. BSA Superstar, total junk compared to the 77.
    2. Cant believe I am going to say this as I am such a fan. Rapid 7 Mk1 .22, already had the Rapid 17 FT and had gelled with it. I swapped the Taunus for the Rapid 7. Brand new too. Not sure whether it was the balance, the trigger or the calibre. It went and that was the last .22 I ever owned. Have shot several others since then and liked them so still a fan.

    I still have a soft spot for the Rapid as it was my first ever PCP decades ago but I get where you are coming from Tinners.

    I went the Daystate route after the Rapid and must confess I actually preferred them in that golden Daystate era of the noughties.

    Airwolfs and Air Rangers I always found better than the Rapid and even going round and round in circles I agree they also did everything better than the rapid.

    Ironically I got offered another Rapid recently which was tempting but I know I’d be looking to at least fit an after market gauge and QF setup as the only pcp I’ve ever owned that’s let me down in the field was a blooming rapid of all things.

    Most.
    Probably bought 60 rifles over the years, all springers. Have only six left, and might have kept another eight. Most sold because they were at best just "average" and hard work to get to tac drivingly accurate, or just wouldn't. Most shot to their build expectations, which was fair. Most of the issue is that I wanted more than they delivered. It was fun seeing what they could do though.
