Different strokes for different folks and all that.

Both look nice but I have yet to see a Rapid with a decent piece of walnut on it.
Wow - I'm having multi-thread conversations with Russ. I'm lucky enough to own both the MFR and the MK3 (FAC) - (although I don't feel so lucky when I get my bank statements) and they are as you say, very different rifles. I haven't had a chance to really put the MFR through its paces yet, but it is a handy little gun and great fun to shoot. But you may be surprised to hear that the main reason I bought it was the stock - it's beautiful. My mk3 woodwork is typically good, but my MFR is much prettier. Mine isn't the only one around with flashy wood either, so Theoben could have been listening to your complaints. This quality wood wasn't an option I paid for either - just luck of the draw.
