Hello Gentlemen, Thank you for another great show. I remember first learning about Theoben, and I remember secretly thumbing through my dad's Airgun World when he was at work. Even back then, as a youngster, I was so proud that Theoben was British. I've always loved the look of the Rapids. I just thought they were fantastic. I think both the air rifles you've displayed there are fantastic lookers. The tactical look I'm not over keen on, but it's a Theoben! I'm grateful to you for telling us about Theoben. I look forward to hearing and learning more, and I hope they do well. Thank you again. Best wishes, Ian.
I remember our membership sectretary at ETL getting the elan when it came out..... lovely rifle, i had a MK2 rapid 17 but never really used it much as I shot a lot of FT back then..
Hi lads, recently bought an AGT Vixen and i agree a beautiful and deadly accurate rifle. Sorry lads but i hate trad rifles i much prefer the tactical look. I'm right handed but love the cocking handle being on the left.
its always hard to make out the guns and any detail. the light seems to come from over head. maybe a light from the front even a soft light to highlight the rifles etc and possibly moving the rifles forward for a few shots just to see more detail. just an idea lads..thanks for the show anyways..
Love Theoben. Used to love RAW, however I'll only get excited about the new stuff when they make spares available. The communication with Raw is shocking and the UK Importer/Distributor is non existent. Hopefully they will resolve this, although I'm not holding my breath. It urks me to the point of maybe selling the TM1000 and stick with original Theobens!
@@Tim_Bassett all I can say on the matter is the main guy now involved with the import/export is doing loads to streamline the overall operation and make a better customer experience for everyone who purchases one of their rifles. Hopefully people who’ve had bad experiences in the past will be pleasantly surprised with what’s coming down the line. Certainly the stuff that has been shared with Gareth and myself make for an exciting future for Raw. I’d always have a cheeky original theoben in the collection somewhere tho mate ;) thanks for the comment, Gwill

Nice one guys, new sponsor can't be bad. All moving in the right direction

👍nice one guys👍 the RAW vs the vixen sounds interresting. maybe a pesting rig face off video
I have one of the last "MK3'" Elans built with an FX tube from Ben at Harston fitted in a GNIB stock.
Tasco AG scopes always look the business on rapids. Still have my AG and tyrolean stock combo going strong.
Great video lads

Won't be able rushing to part with my mk1 Rapid.
Guys iv'e just tried QYS 9.56gr pellets in my micro hunter today & they were tighter groups than baracuda 8 upto 40yds.
@@tonybuttress2729 QYS are excellent pellets for sure. I tried the heavies and Hades in mine :)
