The urge is upon me
Not for the first time.
I'm reasonably well equipped when it come to shooting equipment
Except in the air rifle department, I have a HW80 in bits as an ongoing project, but I fancy a pre-charged rifle again
I was out with my rimfire last week when two wabbits presented themselves in a spot not suitable for .22lr. An air rifle would have been perfect.
The urge to own a RAPID is upon me

Why not suitable for a 22?

On a concrete path, that would have potential to cause that famous Orish man, Rick O'shay.

Try to get a MK2, the trigger is much improved.

Yes early mk2's had an anschutz trigger unit fitted.
The gamo trigger fitted to the mk1 can be tweaked.
Not sure yet if I want a 12ft/lb of a FAC
FAC can be picked up a lot cheaper.

RE: The urge is upon me
Well I've looked at two Rapids in the last 24hrs not closed the deal on one yet, but I know it's gonna happen.
I do like using an air rifle now and again. It sharpens your field craft, because of the short ranges, required.

Air rifle?
Take a good laxative and the urge will pass.

The last gun I sell will be a spring powered air rifle, it's the most useful.
