Theoben Rapid Mk1 .22 28ftlb

[f55]

Its been around 3-4 years since i last shot my Rapid MK1 .22

shooting at 50 yards in doors, 15.9g copper coated crossman pellets using bipod.

Getting around 40 shots on a fill, so 3 x 12 shot mags before pressure starts to drop.

That's a nice PCP. Is it a regulated model?

Nope, the MK1 is not regulated, the MK2 is.

I have an original Theoben Élan, based off the Mk 1 I beleive?

Lovely rifles, I use mine for hunting and it's accurate.

only 50 made, nice rifle.

How do you fill it, its so damn expensive to get hold of a 4500psi /300bar tank in Canada.

I still have my 2 UK steel 300 bar tanks that i can not fill in Canada.

I charge it at a dive shop, living on an island there is a lot of recreational and commercial diving done locally. It's a nice rifle, but not quite as good as my Falcon Ti which has a slight edge on accuracy.

I was surprised buy the accuracy of the MK1 but after 40 shots power drops and accuracy is out the window.

I have a alumin tank i picked up, but its only 3000psi and i cant get the 210bar i need to go above 40 shots. I am looking at a carbon tank but they are damn expensive at almost 1k new.
