Theoben Is theoben rapid so lousy

[CCM]

Reg leking on/off trough valve, when ttying adjusting. Idiot spin gauge/foster=tank leaking. And foster 5cm too deep to use. Nice gun! + 60cm barrel 5kg weight, and max lousy 40fpe IF the thing is at is "best" why are cars,rifles,everything uk made = poor still they brag about "great" brittain

I'm not even sure what you're asking. But, the Theoben/RAW design is one of the most robust and proven in existence. Most of the "problems" of which I am aware resulted from owner mistakes.

The Rapid was made to be simple to work on. Theoben used to have a detailed instruction page on how to service them. One of the most straight forward PCP's ever made. I've had mine for over 20 years and only had to replace the o rings on the reg one time. The later RAW guns with the
'swivel" quick fill is a totally different thing.

You would be hard pressed to fine a better build and more accurate gun then the rapid. This target @ 70 yds. Jsb 15.9 heavy .20 cal @ 900 fps. Favorite pesting gun and I have a few.

My Custom Titanium ... UlTiMate Rapid and the rest of my Rapids would Beg to differ.....
The One of the Most shooter friendly and deadly accurate PCP ever made...
So few O-ring in it's design, makes it a gem to own
About that foster thing...Make a collar for it ,...or...

Get an Extended Foster coupler...

If they're trying to run up a classified-worthy post count, most people who see this thread will probably conclude "seller has poop judgment"

Guys English is not his main laguage

maybe not but even in bad english it sounds like hes just trying to get people ticked off.. I don't think Ive ever seen any negative posts about the Rapid unless it was a post like this. His post is basically calling the Rapid a piece of crap when its the furthest thing from it.

Theoben or RAW .... there the most accurate / precision "Built like a truck" air guns ever produced ... IMO

I think I'm having a stroke.

Long time ago Alan Zazadni told me that the Rapid was the very best PCP you could buy..... And he has a reputation !!

I was not able to buy one on that time. But if I would had been able, for sure I would have bought one.

OH ! a lefty !

The only lefty Theoben I have ever seen. I think the other left handed ones have been stolen by time travelers and taken to another dimension.

"....why is cars,rifles,everything uk made = poop"

LET ME ALLOCATE YOU:

Railroad, email, capitalism -> Were invented by English people and changed the history of human kind and boosted welfare on the world.

Foot ball soccer was invented by English people, and it's rules are the must successful and accepted international treaty in human history.

Air Arms, Daystate and BRK, are gems of PCP's. Solid as a rock,reliable over decades and super accurate.

So ..... Yes:

You do not know what you are talking about !
