Title: Best barrel Rapid
Post by: Kernal on May 22, 2020, 05:22:33 PM
I have a question for you Rapid owner`s that i`ve always found  interesting.

Whats the best barrel to put on your Rapids, I think mine is a factory barrel from Theoben called the anschutz barrel, Its comes in 21" with the votex silencer connected, that i`m not to keen on tbh.

I`m also thinking of having KevG make me a new silencer to fit on my trusty old Rapid, and replace the old votex stile, Plus while on the votex silencer dont you all agree they made them way to heavy.

When it comes to barrels as we all know that they can be very pellet fussy.
That includes the anni ones/walther/silco/polygon/ and depends on the length also.
They have all from time to time proved very accurate and dependable and also to be very pellet fussy.
you have some that want then chocked and some don't.
If you have a good one then hold onto it is my advise no matter the make or length.
I will upload a video of a rabbit I shot not to long ago with my FAC .22 and thermal scope and with a witness at my side who also ranged it and went down with clean head shot at 165 yds.
mine is a 19 inch screw cut anni barrel the only one I had perform like this as others the same make have let me down.
That being said there is also a lot more to take into account when shooting at that range it is to do with the rapid action as a whole.
Regards KCE.
PS Im sure in time members will add to this.
