Very enjoyable video mate and a bit of history, from what you have shown us as far as the grouping, for a rifle that old, whats not to luv, i personally think it can hold its own with just about any thing, Cheers 👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
More consistant than a regulated rifle, gutted to spend the money at the time but wish i had ten of them now. I always fancied the .177 but never managed to get one. Still love the .22 Tyrolean version, superb rifle. Only gun i think was more accurate was the Fenman i used to own.
Great to see the Rapid again, I can’t believe I saw this cos my first ever air rifle was the Theoben Rapid 7 with a 3.5 10x50 white tail classic scope on the top, I bought it from the airgun centre when it first came out and think I paid about £850 which was the scope and gun combo deal, It was very accurate too shooting pellet on pellet at 35 yards, I wish I kept it but I sold it to an army soldier who was on leave and wanted one for him and his kid to do target shooting, sold it for £550 and bet he’s still got it to be honest,
@@Camelotscountrysports Yeah they are great guns, I’ve just got back into air rifle shooting again and just put a £1000 deposit on a new fx impact M4 so I hope it’s as accurate as the old Theoben Rapid 7
@@Camelotscountrysports Yeah I’m sure I’ll be happy with it, Originally I was getting the M3 but a few days after I put a deposit on it the M4 came out so had to swap to that, my only concern is the drop of the second regulator is it a good thing or not 🧐, I’m ordering either the hikmicro 4k day/night scope or the new DNT Thermnight scope but think I’m leaning to the hikmicro 4K
Nice to see, and I clocked the MK4 resemblance immediately. LOL The only thing I don't like about them is the mag's. For me they are too fiddly to be filling at night. I much prefer the simplicity of the HW100 mags. Great video bud. 🙂
Great rifles, always had one or more rapids in my collection, currently sub 12 rapid, FAC rapid and MFR, all recently serviced and modded by kev g, good video 👍. Who did you hydro dip ??
Mine is a MK1 had it from new. last year converted from .22 to 1.77. I also have couple of stocks and the Dr Bob rail, as the rings dont aline with compact scopes,and are not 30mm. Would never sell mine, Its my only airgun.
Hi, What is the scope rail you have on your Rapid. I have a late mk1/2 left hand in 20 cal I've had KG reg fitted but I do love the look of your Rapid,

My go to rifle buddy
Old but people wanting more money for these second hand than most modern better rifles
They do, they have become collectors for most people now days and some are getting very rare like the S-types and Elans
its better a 22 lr

@@Camelotscountrysports I'll be down at your range this Wednesday with mine, by the way the range is one of the best I've been to well done.
@@stephenwilkinson8149thank you it means a lot to me, I’m glad that I can share the sport I love with some many like minded people.
@@Camelotscountrysports can the Dr Bobs gauge and quick fill be fitted to the kg regulator ?
