    I love this . Igun to bits used to have a rapid 7, loved that just as much,a quality rifle with constant power. with the Theoben Rapid 12/200 air rifle you get lots of shots per fill. Its a bit heavier than I would like but I cant get over that.

    As a previous rapid 7 owner i thought i would treat myself to a new mk2 in .20 cal i like the flat trajectory and hitting power of the 15.6 elimenator pellets from b.t.a.s ,but annoyed when gun started leaking i believe theoben now use plastic instead of metal in their valve units which is penny pinching on a gun at 8oo plus quid gun has been returned and i await outcome

    I've moved to New Zealand with one of these with full faith that I will get years of first class service. This is the ultimate pre-charge air weapon - top marks to Theoben

    Excellent rifle. Very accurate, well made, i really like the Throben Rapid air rifle, the only problem is that the magazines are far too expensive.

    I've recently purchased the rapid MK 2 twelve shot and honestly cannot complain accuracy and handling second to none Theoben really pushed the boat out on this one, mines shooting at a very nice 26ftlbs more than enough to stop any vermin really cannot complain and in my eyes anyone who does moan can stick to there cheap foreign heavy rubbish ha ha ha

    I bought the Theoben Rapid 12/200 a couple of months ago and it is my first f.a.c air rifle, it is 35 ft/ibs in .20. I find it extremely accurate out to 80 yds although you can hit a 4" target at 100yds. I am very pleased with the finish of the rifle. If you have one of these running at this power you really need the 500cc bottle to get an adequate number of shots, the downside is that it effects the balance of the rifle drastically and makes shooting from the standing position difficult. I love ...

    I've owned the Theoben Rapid mark 1 for several years. That gets 100/100 .I've brought the Mark 2 and that far exeeds all its rivals. The service from Theoben is excellent. Probably the best gun on the market.

    The Theoben Rapid 12/200 gun looks like your shooting a BBQ grill with the peopane tank hanging off the end. The action is fumbly and more along the lines of powder burner technology.
    BTW Just kidding Ed ! I wanted to see if you were reading ! LOL

    The Theoben Rapid gun is well worth the money. Have you ever heard the saying "you only get what you pay for"? Well you get much more with this gun.

    the rapid 12 is a good gun,quality as standard but the after sales from theoben is a load of rubbish the gun has been back to theoben 4 times and the attitude from the staff is not good, even though i bought the gun with a lifetime warranty i have had to pay a lot of money to have the gun put right,as far as i am concernd it will be the first and last theoben i buy.if any 1 else has had the same kind of problem i would really like t hear about it.

    I bought the gun last night. I currently own a Zasadny Modified Career 707, Maccari Modified RWS Model 54 and now a Zasadny Modified Super 12. This gun is unbelievable. I have owned plenty of others also and this is the first gun to make the short hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up and stay up until you stop shooting. I sighted it in in 6 shots and then put the next 12 through the same whole at 20 yards. I could not believe my eyes. I have heard the gun is very loud and that may be a ...

    Crossman Premiers shot very well in my gun as did
    the Korean heavies. The Koreans were long but the
    magazine rotates just fine. When mounted with
    the Bushnell Elite 8-32x32 I was extreemly happy
    with shot consistency. The pellet loading, charging system, and weight and balance of this rifle is exteemly good.

    I have had many air rifles in the past 10 years.
    The only rifles I have now are a super 12/20 which smokes my fully decked out daystate with comp trigger, fully adjustable stock, and tuned to
    23 ft/lbs. .02 c/c groups.

    The Theoben Radpid 12/200 air rifle is a good gun but they need to sort it out, not just blaming pellets. As if your car pinks you have to adjust the timing as the petrol's all your gonna get!!! It's no good just burying there head in the sand as someones going to kick their butt in the end!!!(super 10).

    Been using Theoben Rapids for 10 years. Got 2 mk1`s and a mk2. Never had any trouble with any. These guns are built to last, where others seem to come along then fade away. A real work horse which will not be beat.

    i tested the Theoben Rapid 12 and the Logun. The Rapid 12 came through as a clear winner. 150+ shots per fill. the most accurate air rifle i have fired. working on sub inch groups at 60 yards. very consistent power over the chrono. go for 20 calibre as this has the best of 177 and 22. when used with either standard or evolution silencer it shoots like a whisper. go for the 12 shot mag. plenty of extras you can purchase. just the job for target shooting or hunting : the best pneumatic rifle out t ...

    at first I didnt want to know about these modern pneumatics thinking that they were more trouble than they were worth but when i shot a friend of mines at my local club i was so impressed that i bought one straight away. the rapids are well worth it for the money being an excellent rifle for any kind of shooting. they are easy to maintain and even easier to use.

    as a professional pest control officer i require the very best when it comes to air rifles. i own many other pneumatics(fALCON lighthunter, BSA super 10 ) but none are in the same league as the rapid 12. the shot to shot consistency is excellent and you get over 300 shots from a 280cc bottle! i have had no faults with my rapid but the service they give is outstanding.

    This rifle is top notch for hunting small varmints within 100 yards. I have done so many times, and with great success
