Think I'll save my money and buy a proper rapid. I do like the stock though.
Lovely looking wood - but its a "special edition" RAW made in the USA with a Theoben marking
Really nice looking gun mate,that stock is spot on.atb jazz 😄
just a RAW with a very nice dress.

Few more pictures on AGF yesterday and whilst the stock(s) appear to have stunning grain I don't like the shape of the butt.
Lost the lean classic look with a rather horrible modern (kinda Daystatey) cut away underneath and a semi-tac 'I only shoot off a bench bag' lead up to a huge black shouder pad.
Chunk of quailty grain missing in the 'belly' & short on the length.
Not as bad as Gary Cane's massive lumps of walnut that adorned Rapid 7s in the 90s but close
God that stock is hideous :-[
Looks awesome but for the money some proper hand cut checkering would be nice instead of that lazer cut crap.
short video from the show on AGF- the stocks are slimmer than the sneak preview pics made them appear.
However (and unfortunately because I don't like their HW-100 offerings) they are Form stocks.
Kinda expalins the ugly semi-tac butt and huge 3-way adjustable pad.

I think it looks nicer than Daystate or Air Arms offerings. Certainly nicer than anything Weihrauch have too.

I like the look, I just can't fathom the price......Daystate nailed it with the Black Wolf in terms of price and gun.....if the Raw was a similar price, I probably would have been tempted.
Over 2000 quid if it's what I think your on about ....yes after looking at the vid I think it's about 2000 , some a little bit less but not alot !
Going on info I saw on a discussion group , buy a couple of rapids for that ...v expensive

Apparently going to be built back in the UK, I did have a very good look at it, but a Rapid with a side lever, it just doesn't feel right. I was tempted but I have 5 Rapids and 2 vendetta's already.
