I have a Rapid and yes, it can be a bit heavy, but so is my Airwolf. I've been waiting for an honest layman's review of the Leishy 2 as it sparked my interest as soon as I saw the photos.
However, my cousin has an Impact 2 and to be honest, it's noisy, clunky and it leaked from brand new, they're nothing special for the price tag as far as I can see. He's the production manager for a very expensive brand of British air rifle too, and I often get the impression that he's trying to justify his decision to buy the Impact.
