I have had the pleasure to own this rig twice. AZ tuned 20 cal with gorgeous stock and sends them downrange like a laser . Always fed a steady diet of nitrogen and cared for like she should be.
GOD BLESS

I did not know they revived the rapid... interesting.
I promise the rifle shoots better than I can post pics!
Sorry for the duplicates . I usually take pic, upload to laptop then post from the pc... tried doing all from my phone today and made this mess.
But they are new and fesh pics.
Now others turn...

There was one on the AOA site a few weeks back that I was a day away from buying...... but it was sold a day before I sent them money.
I do agree that I like this topic as well! I have an original Theoben MK2 that started life off as a 25 cal rifle, as well tuned by AZ. I really dislike the bottle on the AZ rifles so I replaced it with a carbon bottle and swapped the caliber to a 22. That led me to talking with Michael, the owner of the forum, and was able to snag one of the hand built Dawson Rapid rifles. Then I did another step and bought a new Rapid from Martin and have that one set up for slugs. So I am three deep right now, and I couldn't be happier. They are SOLID shooters and a breeze to work on.
Let me dig them out of the gun safe and I will get some fresh pictures of them. Unless I can find them on my phone.

Gorgeous rigs! You have quite the stable and should be proud ...There was one on the AOA site a few weeks back that I was a day away from buying...... but it was sold a day before I sent them money.

I am, and I'm looking for more.
Playing with my printer and making a shroud system to make it quiet. At 14ftlb in 22 there are a ton of shots to be had, and quite quiet.9
