    Good Points: What a gun and my god it is so accurate too, I've had this gun for nearly 2 months now and it just never misses a beat. I've been taking rabbits down at 60+ yards easily, I chose .177 caliber in this rifle to gain more distance and flatter shooting in sub 12ft/lb. I used to have owned a MK1 Rapid 10 years ago in point .20 caliber so I know what to expect from a Rapid.
    Now the S-TYPE is really something else with the 500cc buddy bottle giving 500 shots in .177 caliber. Now this is a mans gun because fully scoped up mine weighs in at 11.5lbs which is great for me as I prefer a heavy rifle, but for people that are not as fit and strong this maybe too heavy for you.
    The length of the rifle is 43.5 inches so combined with the weight and length it's worth getting a good padded sling to carry the gun on long hunting trips. This rifle for most people is a buy once and never look back kind of thing as it really is all you'll ever need for hunting and target shooting.
    The bolt action is extremely smooth and combined with the magazine (in my case 17 shots) makes this an extremely fine hunting machine.


    Bad Points: None whatsoever....


    General comments: I really love the Harris bipod which comes as standard with the S-TYPE, I've found this very good for those long shots that need to be taken sometimes and very good for zeroing the rifle too.
    If you have the money and like a real mans gun then the S-TYPE is for you!! This gun will not let even the most discerning of shooters, so when it comes to buying an air rifle I have only one thing to say.

    "GET A LIFE AND BUY A RAPID"!!!!

    Owned lots of airguns in the past and was looking for something a bit up market when the chance to purchase a secondhand .22 Rapid S came my way. The gun was a few months old and showed signs that it had been used quite a bit, however given the quality of the engineering that goes into these things I didn't consider it too much to worry about and eagerly parted with my cash.

    I've had the gun for a while now and use it regularly for controlling the rat population on a nearby farm. Not to say ...

    I've had the S-Type for a couple of weeks now an i`m just starting to get used with it an I've got my scopes set up for 60 yards which is no bother for it
    Well worth a look at if your thinking of buying another gun
