Thank You. It was clear you did not enjoy the gun, especially at the price point. Yet you still managed to present a fair and honest review. Highlighting the positives and not dwelling on the negatives. I agree 100% on the safety. Turning off the safety should not increase the chances of an unintentional discharge. The price point on it is obscene, even by American standards. For 2 grand (3 when kitted out) I can purchase 2 well equipped rifles and have a few pennies left over. Keep up the good work Andy, even us here in the colonies appreciate the quality of your reviews.
well it wont get the accuracy of the raw thou.. the raw i have ia a 177 and its doing 5 mm ctc groups at 50 yards..... its insane accuracy from any small arm at that range... ANY
@@OldNavajoTricks lol The one thing I've learned and I'm 100% sure of is ,shooting is more fun with a more affordable rifle . When I've been daft enough to take one of the ltd editions I've owned ( around 4 grand uk including the sightron scope ) I was more worried about damaging the laminate stock or would rain damage the silver finish etc etc , I enjoy it most when I'm out with a second hand hw100 that cost me 550 years ago , if I'm honest 50% of the higher end rifles I've owned such as an impact are to delicate for real field use, I speak from experience , don't get fooled into believing the more money you spend ,the better the rifle you will get, I still use two theoben rifles , an Mfr and ttr2 ,no gauges or quick fill connecters , and I enjoy those more than any of the high end and electronic action rifles I've owned ( that probably a bad example as they are becoming very rare and the value is ever rising ) my point is by a second hand rifle like a BSA super 10, they were once the flagship model of BSA but now they are a 20 year old design and the last incarnation hit the market about 16 years ago ,so you can get them cheap , they can keep up with all the stupid money rifles , ( damn I want an old super 10 now ,I'll go online in a mo lol) All the best mate ,enjoy your shooting and stay safe 👍
@@aboutthemetal8783 I think the best I ever had was a HW87 back in the early nineties, bought it from a sisters bf but just decided in the last two or so years to revisit it, primarily as a 'prepping' or bugout tool, backup for the bow and other food means. I'd want a springer for end times ofc but I designed a stock that wasn't breaker compatible and no way can I afford real pcp haha, but in the end as long as the lead gets to the head, it's all good 👍 Good hunting marra and take care.
Great review Andy, i'll not be swapping my Daystate or FX anytime soon,it's certainly devisive with that stock, it really does not do it any justice at all,😐
Great honest review Andy. Certainly seems overpriced and is no looker. 3x2 made me chuckle. As for that safety, well, I have fat fingers and that safety with the light trigger is an accident waiting to happen. Such a shame your expertise has not been responded to. Once again many thanks. I look forward each Friday to your reviews.
I don't know, for 2 grand I'd want something a bit more aesthetically pleasing, makes the BSA R12 look like bargain if you were to put them head to head. But that's just my opinion. Honest reveiw though and a tough gun to pigeon hole, it's neither a rather or a bench rest but looks solid, like a big plank of wood should, maybe they should approach minelli for a style overhall, or is it a gun to be fettled by the owners to fit, like a target pistol.
Considering these rifles heritage, Theoben if I'm not mistaken, surely they'd be at least equal to previous generations of superb products. And that price tag.? The BSA / AA fair are getting on for half and at least there isn't a 12hr time difference to try and rectify a manufacturing fault And while I'm on a rant (🙄) it's a crying shame that we have yet again had our engineering and design excellence farmed out, to become another country..... I've become my father 🤔 Great review as always Andy Regards
I would rather spend my money on a original Theoben rapid 7 if i found one that hadn't been played about with as i think that thing is well over priced. Great video as always.
Hi Andy really great and honest review of this rifle ,but costing over £ 2000 with no other accessories is a little expensive. I wonder if they will alter the design based on your report/opinion
Can't fault your review for its honesty and balance. It's a shame that such a beautifully laminated stock has been fashioned to be so visually clunky. I'm drawing parallels with my AA HFT 500 stock, also laminated but much more aesthetic and ergonomic. Shame also that given every opportunity the manufacturer has not been responsive to you.
I know you cant compare apples and oranges but the price point on these rifles compared to rimfire rifles is crazy. As a theoben rapid mk2 owner I'd rather use this still over this new version.
The original rapids are still beautiful rifles with a much nicer comfy stock. Still sought after today. The Raw was designed for the FAC market. Big internal plenum inside that block. If its got a LW polygon barrel like the FAC versions it won't be as good in sub12.
Looks gorgeous but way too spendy for me to ever contemplate. Sounds like the stock could do with some fettling to get it more ergonomic (a custom job if you're already spending silly money) and the safety inside the trigger guard is just a bad idea. A cross-bolt safety in the same location would be far better. I imagine in the higher calibres and power levels they'll need significantly longer barrels, making them even heavier and more unwieldy.
i use the tm 1000 it has no safty and is single shot whit a thimble to rotate the barrel. its 177 19 foot pounds.... i wanted a heavy gun so i even chose the steel bottle for greater weight,... i use it for bench shooting only. it really dosent get any better than this
Good morning Andy, on the face of it a good looking rifle ! But then it feels flat wood stock . You don't get much for your money ? The loudness is rubbish. If it was a lot cheaper! I would consider it ! Thank you Andy , fabulous review today ... Cheers Simon
Well done on a fair review Andy. Certainly trip down memory lane. Safety poor, stock pretty but to chunky for me. It's a lot of money really ok on the bench but to carry this beast around all evening and still shoot accurately mmm not for me. Cheers Garry 😎👍
Hi Andy, thanks for the video mate, judging from your target results it's accurate, but alot of cheaper airguns can do the same , and have a proven track record. As for the safety lever, and the stock, I think they should go back to the drawing board. There's more atractive guns out there for the buyer to pick from. Cheers mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
I met both Dave and Ben when they bought a couple of prototype Sciroccos to my local gunshop Russell Walkyer, I remember being stunned by the engineering and deep black on the metalwork. Both rifles looked identical. I had a couple of shots in the back of the shop, no open sights or fitted scope just to try, remember how different they felt to a spring gun. I did buy one of the early ones. On the subject, would I pay that much for the RAW, sorry no
i wonder what the weight difference is between the wooden and composite model.....the wooden one is nice looking but the finer details make it look like a few corners could have been rounded off a bit or a lot
Hello Andy, I put off watching this video as I still have a Theoben Rapid in .20 calibre, and didn't want to hear that it's out of date. It probably is, but it's still better looking than that American take on the original idea by Ben and Dave in the time the internet forgot. I think that wood is designed for benchrest target work, that seems pretty popular over the pond and there's big money involved. As far as the magazine goes, that's a pet hate of mine, they're getting bigger and bigger which dictates the scope mounting options, fine if you're shooting prairie dogs at 100 yards but not when it's a rat 6' away.....
Yes a lot of money for that rifle.Didn’t like where the safety is and I think the lack of a moderater is poor for that money. Well reviewed though Andy,Cheers and Atvb👍🏻😀
£3k? No thanks - I picked up an original MK1 FAC rapid 7 for £250 and its superb and gives me all the memories i had when i bought a sub 12 one brand new just over 20 years ago!
TIME AT 9;02 the grip is made to be a thumb up for target shooting not a wrap around grip .......this grip was made for a thumb up position no wonder you dont like the grip using the grip in a hand position is was not meant for..........remeber thumb up ojn the grip
I love your honest rewiev it deffo needs a bit fetling and for the money I wouldn't want to . I'd rather get a hold of a trusty rapid 7 and have it looked at was a great gun back in the day (couple weeks ago to me ) but great honest rewiev thanks for your hard work I know that can't of been easy . 👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🦕😁✌️🤞
Anyone buying one of these must be quite loopy. Buy a rapid 7 instead. Air force do many other guns a lot cheaper as well. I have a stealth which is a beautiful gun and easy to maintain. Its been copied in all air force designs. For 2 grand you can buy a car or electric bike that takes you to a hunting spot with a kral 2po2 and change leftover. Just saying 2 grand is offensive for a block of wood with an action attached. Great review Andy, do a few pistols as well, always look forward to them.
Purchased one new 5 months ago, disappointing, reg issues, mod adapter is only glued on, mine came loose. Replacement huma reg and best fittings adapter have improved it vastly. I have the old hm1000 and tm1000 they were both considerably less expensive, hand made an much nicer gun. It’s a shame raw got brought out buy airforce. They have undoubtedly cut corners yet cost has gone up. The gun does undoubtedly shoot well just not quite perfect
I have been viewing reviews about the HM 1000X and persuaded myself to buy one. I handled one in the shop, fired it twice, paid my money and took it home. When I took it out of its box and tried to load it, the pellet probe was completely floppy. It was like something had either broken or dropped out. I am completely disappointed and am at a loss to know how any other RAW continues to work. . . I haven't fired a single pellet with it. It is going back for a refund...... I am absolutely disgusted with the thing.
It's got looks that only its mother could love - maybe this review could have been split between the laminate and chassis stock versions to even the playing field a little? One thing I can't get out of my head, is that great care (and expense) has been taken to make sure the cheek riser matches the stock - this certainly seems a rarity even at this price point - but no care at all has been given to the laminate showing predominately green from one side and brown from the other...... PLUS, magazine loading from the left... on what is presumably a target gun? No option for sidewheels on your fancy scope then! A poor oversight IMHO
Good honest review I sometimes think Andy is a little to nice but this one hits the target Ugly,cumbersome, untrue qoutes from the factory .... If I'm honest its a hillbilly blunderbuss stuck in a piece of 3x2 Overpriced ,over rated by RAM and over here God its ugly Why did Theoben sell If i was them this thing would make me want to start over and regain that good reputation they once had.😩 😫 Shockin
Said it before and I'll say it again; these flick on/off safeties IN FRONT OF a trigger, are not good/safe practice! Single magazine, let alone no silencer for £2k? No thanks! 😉
its fugly ,, and for that alone I wouldnt want one . Dont really care about anything else , I can do industrial , tactical , purposeful or just classic chique ,,, but thats fugly.
Ugly, heavey lump of lumber. I have loads in my shed. Alot cheaper too. Theres alot of stuff out there a quarter of the price as or more accurate. Stick an expensive log on the fire
Excellent review, as always. I love watching Andy tying himself in knots trying to find positive things to say when it's so obvious that he just doesn't like the gun. This looks like style over substance to me, they've ruined what could be a genuinely great gun in order to capture a bit of nostalgia appeal, it looks like the woodwork started off as a cricket bat and then had the minimum of machining done to make it function as a gunstock, which is a shame because the matching between the cheek-riser and the rest of the butt is fantastic and must have cost a mint. And I agree totally that the safety would have me accidentally firing it, with my big old hands. There are too many fantastic guns at the two grand mark for this to even get close to making my wants list, it isn't out-performing guns that cost half that and have far less coffin-shaped woodwork.
Never have understood any manufacturer putting a safty catch on or near the trigger. Why ?. Could not agree more with all of the comments you have raised. Honest review as always.
I think the idea is that it's much easier to make the gun safe and requires a conscious action to switch to the fire position, and there are military weapons that use a similar configuration, which suggests there must be a good reason for it. All the same, it does look a little awkward to use, especially with such a light trigger.
Thank You. It was clear you did not enjoy the gun, especially at the price point. Yet you still managed to present a fair and honest review. Highlighting the positives and not dwelling on the negatives. I agree 100% on the safety. Turning off the safety should not increase the chances of an unintentional discharge.

Takes me back to the old Theoben. Long gone unfortunately. Thought provoking review , nicely and fairly observed as always. Thank You
That's the LRT STOCK, LONG RANGE TARGET, that's why that stock is designed like that
Looks nice but unsure if I'd pay over 2k for this air rifle. Prefer the chassis version but still, 1800. Still alot of money in this day and age!
Yup, for someone who blew the farm on a Cp2 things like this are a neverget lol.

I have a rapid 7 and I think that was a really fair assessment 😀
There are tons of great options at 2k. It's an accurate rifle.
The price of this rifle is madness. It’s more than a Swarovski scope. It costs as much as my X bolt and moderator did.
Can't really see it being that much better than my FX to warrant such a price tag to be honest.
Never seen such a well-matched riser on the stock I bet a lot of the cost went there.
It would be expensive at £700.
I don't know, for 2 grand I'd want something a bit more aesthetically pleasing, makes the BSA R12 look like bargain if you were to put them head to head. But that's just my opinion.

Appreciate your honesty. 👍

Best off left that side of the pond
Hi Andy really great and honest review of this rifle ,but costing over £ 2000 with no other accessories is a little expensive.
I wonder if they will alter the design based on your report/opinion
I think you were fair with that review Andy.
Such a shame as the Theoban Rapid was a gorgeous thing 😢
My first thought was that it was a great way to recycle old fence posts.
A very fair review, the weight alone would put me off. It may be fine on a bench but I wouldn’t want to lug it around my permissions.
Can't fault your review for its honesty and balance. It's a shame that such a beautifully laminated stock has been fashioned to be so visually clunky. I'm drawing parallels with my AA HFT 500 stock, also laminated but much more aesthetic and ergonomic. Shame also that given every opportunity the manufacturer has not been responsive to you.
The hw100 bottle conversion in a shapely form stock retailing at about £1600 with extra for bag, scope etc and a single shot adapter available
ANDYS rage on the range says it as he sees it spot on
I know you cant compare apples and oranges but the price point on these rifles compared to rimfire rifles is crazy. As a theoben rapid mk2 owner I'd rather use this still over this new version.
The original rapids are still beautiful rifles with a much nicer comfy stock. Still sought after today. The Raw was designed for the FAC market. Big internal plenum inside that block. If its got a LW polygon barrel like the FAC versions it won't be as good in sub12.
I thought the Hatsan with 4 bottles was ugly, but this beats it in ugliness.
for a bench rest target gun it's looks and shoots what it is
Good for you for the honesty and frankness Andy 👍🏻🍻
Not as keen on the stock version but love the tactical. Don’t think it’s worth the money tho
Very fair review Andy 👍🥸
To me it looks like a wierauch HW 100 with a form stock In my opinion
Ye give me a hw10 or a r10 so much better and less than half the price keep the reviews coming Andy I really enjoy them thanks david
At that price point, I'd play it safe with a brand known for quality in the UK or Germany, personally.
Looks gorgeous but way too spendy for me to ever contemplate. Sounds like the stock could do with some fettling to get it more ergonomic (a custom job if you're already spending silly money) and the safety inside the trigger guard is just a bad idea.

yes the stock is like 2x3 like if they ran out of money the stock not a patch on old Theoben 17 or M stocks
hello ,1200 pound to many i find . you can get pcp `s that as accurat for less then 1200 pound
Some products just make you ask "Why?"...
Far too expensive for what looks to me like an unrefined rifle; if I had that kind of money I'd be down to the shops for a Daystate.
Was the stock styled on the way they create their roads? Straight?
hi its good to hear a review that tells the truth with good bad thanks m8 ian

Well done on being honest Andy. After all, the manufacturers "should" be listening to the airgun community when it comes to R&D. Or perhaps not eh ?.
i wonder what the weight difference is between the wooden and composite model.....the wooden one is nice looking but the finer details make it look like a few corners could have been rounded off a bit or a lot
Ugly doesn't begin to describe it , I'll keep my Walnut R-10 thanks all the same ...
Good review 👍...... Been there done that with rapids and never seen the appeal..... Agricultural 🤷♂️....... Carm mags are much better also 👍
Great review Andy. Not sure I’m a fan of this one though. And at that price the world is your oyster really with 99% of sub 12’lb rifles.
At that price point , customers should expect excellence approaching perfection . Nonresponsive companies do themselves no favor .

what silencer did you use and price? thank you. Ken Robinson.
Yes a lot of money for that rifle.Didn’t like where the safety is and I think the lack of a moderater is poor for that money.
Well reviewed though Andy,Cheers and Atvb👍🏻😀
Wow they're really nice
Could you please do a review on the ATA airborne 👍
So what did you speak to them about to give them a chance to change??
Was it the safety

Like buying a ferrari and it being limited to 20mph 😭
In short, it is a expensive butt good gun and the stock is not for you
Anyone buying one of these must be quite loopy.
Buy a rapid 7 instead.
Air force do many other guns a lot cheaper as well.
I have a stealth which is a beautiful gun and easy to maintain. Its been copied in all air force designs.
For 2 grand you can buy a car or electric bike that takes you to a hunting spot with a kral 2po2 and change leftover.
Just saying 2 grand is offensive for a block of wood with an action attached.
Great review Andy, do a few pistols as well, always look forward to them.
I don't care at all for the stock design. A shrouded barrel would be nice too.
Don't care much for it, but would have liked to seen the .22 in 7 months
Purchased one new 5 months ago, disappointing, reg issues, mod adapter is only glued on, mine came loose. Replacement huma reg and best fittings adapter have improved it vastly.

They have undoubtedly cut corners yet cost has gone up. The gun does undoubtedly shoot well just not quite perfect
Its too big for that little power
I have been viewing reviews about the HM 1000X and persuaded myself to buy one.
I handled one in the shop, fired it twice, paid my money and took it home.
When I took it out of its box and tried to load it, the pellet probe was completely floppy. It was like something had either broken or dropped out.
I am completely disappointed and am at a loss to know how any other RAW continues to work. . . I haven't fired a single pellet with it.
It is going back for a refund...... I am absolutely disgusted with the thing.

don't think i'll be getting one.
would not pay that for an air rifle , thats me personally andy specially that one after review
Loved the review as always. Don’t like the rifle at all. Safety is terrible. Stock looks horrible!
Airguns are stupid money these days, crazy.....
Who ever designed that need sacking. Ruined by airforce.
Good honest review
I sometimes think Andy is a little to nice but this one hits the target
Ugly,cumbersome, untrue qoutes from the factory ....
If I'm honest its a hillbilly blunderbuss stuck in a piece of 3x2
Overpriced ,over rated by RAM and over here
God its ugly
Why did Theoben sell
If i was them this thing would make me want to start over and regain that good reputation they once had.😩 😫

wow you lost me a 2,000 pounds lol :)
It's looks horrible in the lam stock

Said it before and I'll say it again; these flick on/off safeties IN FRONT OF a trigger, are not good/safe practice!
Single magazine, let alone no silencer for £2k? No thanks! 😉
Nope
its fugly ,, and for that alone I wouldnt want one . Dont really care about anything else , I can do industrial , tactical , purposeful or just classic chique ,,, but thats fugly.
Ugly, heavey lump of lumber. I have loads in my shed. Alot cheaper too. Theres alot of stuff out there a quarter of the price as or more accurate. Stick an expensive log on the fire
soon as I saw it, hated it. that is one ugly gun. Looks like a really bad Jimi Hendrix acid trip
Looks vile.
In my opinion its ugly lol.
Never going to spend that much money on it.
It's got the styling of a brick. It's horrible
Not a looker is it. It's a no from me. Not great for 2 grand
Sure it's a good rifle, but the laminate looks awful imo
Not first
My stock cracked at the pistol grip.
