Hi Simon, Thank you for your latest video. I love watching them, seeing your different, lazer accurate rifles, and listening to your commentary. With great respect, Simon, you say your FX rifle is better than your Theoben because of it's range. However, you purchased your Theoben in 1996. The Theobens were game changers back then, as I know you'll know that. So, with all that time passed, it's long enough for FX to be designing an air rifle like they have, and with no doubt whatsoever, you've demonstrated that they have! That saying you said about, I first learned about, in JDJ Braithwaite's airgun shooting book. "Beware of the hunter with only one gun!" As airguns were out of the question for me, growing, I have now some of the air rifles I dreamed of, as a youngster, and because of that famous saying, I spend time on my range, producing cards specific to each air rifle, as I just simply can't remember how one airgun shoots, when I've had hold of another. I'd love to be that shooter/hunter with only one rifle. However, probably like you, I'd never part with any of my air rifles, as I spent a major part of my life yearning to own them and never expecting I would. I absolutely adore adore having them now, owning and using them. I love their workmanship/craftsmanship, accuracy, function, fine tolerances, machining, etc. Thank you again for another fantastic view and the commentary/advice that you very kindly share with us. Best wishes, Ian. Ps. Your Magpie decoy looked fantastic, floating in the breeze.

[@simon6ppc246]

Ye thank you Ian and to be fair i kind of worded it about the Rapid a bit wrong when i look back because for its age its still one hell of a rifle and i honestly doubt that in another say 25 years the FX King is still going as strong as say the Rapid is now.

[@ianwoods1384]

@simon6ppc246 Hi Simon, Thank you for your reply. I would never contradict anything you say, as you're far more knowledgeable and experienced than I am. It's just that I remember the Theoben Rapid first coming out and how I so would have liked one. However, there was a pecking order in our household, and if my dad couldn't afford one, I'd no chance. Just forget about it! That was a fantastic time in British airgun history, though I'm no specialist in any of it. I think you'd know more about this than I do. Around about that time too, Ripley Air rifles were developing pcp's, and like Theoben's, they were fantastic game changer's, too. As you'll also know, Simon, Theoben made fantastic gas ram rifles, too. I think they were mainly break barrels. Their breech lock ups and barrel blueing quality were knee trembling, much like the quality of the Air Arms TX200 blueing is today. It was lovely to see you'd replied to my message. Thank you and take care, Ian.

[@assassinlexx1993]

With the weather being so bad. That decoy was perfect any other time. Every one of your rifles shoots like a laser. Zap they are down and out.👍🏻

[@Brendan-s7y]

hi simon, i re watched this episode. even tho your rapid is a 1996 some 28 year old. I have no doubt that the king is more viirsitale with a adjustment in power and ammo, but honestly do you think that things have moved on that much over the last 28 year. Maybe a side lever or a few dials but your wolverine and the king are just advancements on the simple and reliable rapid 7.

[@simon6ppc246]

Ye Brendan the Rapid 7 i have kind of grown up with it and to be fair is still a part of me but technology moving on i keep leaving it in the gun cabinet and i don't like what i do but these new rifles i use really are un real but you are right in what your saying as these new rifles are no more accurate end off just more versatile.
