Theoben Rapid Forum

Back to the land of Theoben.
Sterted my jounery when in the UK 30yrs ago with TB90, then evetnaully after a few AA's moved onto Rapids and Mk2 FT in FAC whilst stationed in Germany. Came across some of the lengends who helped me along my way to understnd the finer workings of a Rapid. Settled on a regulauted 32ftlb .22, all new internals with a BSA barrel. Gave it all away to a friend when I moved to NZ 12 years ago and regretted that seince.
Hunted since I was a teenager, moved onto big game in Germany and have a passion for custom rifles, reloading  and long range mountain hunting here in the South Island Alps. 
Having said all that I recently picked up a mint HW90 and TX200 which Ive just finished rebuilding. No power limits here. 
Now Im back after a Rapid,so Ive retruned to the source.

Hi, fellow Kiwi here; im sure I chatted with you when you were looking for charging adapter for the 90 (?).
There is a rapid thats been listed on trademe recently, in my opinion pretty reasonable price too! Its a Mk1.
