Thanks for the warm welcome I saw a small wright up in one of the airgun mags, Me and my dad were going to spend between £600 and £700 on 1 but then he read abit about the webley raider 10 which it cheaper and it means we can get 2 for the price of 1 so to speak, We have shotguns but are new to air rifles so I can imagine there will be lots more questions, cheers.

Well Ben,

 

When you feel the need to ask, there will allways be someone here to answer

 

Just remember, Head shots are the key a little lump of lead needs to be placed just right for a proper job.

 

The Very Best Advice anyone can give, is spend lots of time on the paper targets before going for the bunnies and stuff.

 

Shooting at different ranges and in wind is a whole different ball game to shotties

 

Enjoy the shooting, it'll have you and your dad hooked for life

like tony said you need to spend time on paper first matey even we all still do and the oldies

but again its true what tony says very good advice to tony pal and ben the raider 10 is a nice gun buddy if you are going to spend alot of money just please be aware of scammers ok we dont know who they are but given half a chance they will have you well your money anyway and that would be a bad start like tony said again these plenty of us on here to answer your questions if you need it even if its about a sale of a gun and getting back to gun dont rush matey the gun is out there for you just please take a little time and try a few before you buy feel if the gun puts its weight into your shoulder if its heavy on the front end try 177 and 22 in general just get a nice feel to a gun and then once you are sorted send us all pictures on here matey

I rang round 4 gunshope near to where I live and none had the webley raider 10 in stock and it wouldn't be in stock untill the end of the month

Sorry to drag this thread up again after it's been wallowing in the undergrowth for a few months, but I have had a Raider 10 suggested to me as an alternative to a Airy Arms S410.

 

It looks very much the job, and the (more sensible !) reviews are fairly positive. I use a club owned S410 and love it, but due to "budgetary restraints" I'm not in a position to go buy 550 quid's worth of airgun at the mo.

 

Do you recon this would be a suitable long-term alternative or should I wait for my boat to come in and get a coveted S410?

 

Oh, by the way. Hello everyone

Is this our Uncle Phil from Reading, who likes a bit of Gliding and hot air ballooning?

Hi Ben

 

When I lived in the UK I owned many Air Rifles including a few PCPs.

 

They were a Webley Raider 2 shot (FAC) and a 12FPE Raider 10. I also owned an Air Arms S200 a 410-TDR - A BSA Hornet - And a Parker Hale Phoenix :crazy:

 

Apart from the hopeless hornet all these ARs were great in different ways - However the Raider 10 was the most reliable and definately the best value for money

 

Unfortunately I was obliged to sell my air-rifle collection before I emigrated to OZ leaving the Raider as `the last to go`

 

I`d say you should`nt have too much trouble getting one in the UK as there are plenty around second-hand and they were always strangely unfashionable - I always put this down to them being a bit plain Jane looking but for me the Raider 10 was a just a reliable work-horse for bunny bashing `and many we did bash`

 

Hopefully the next Raider 10 will turn out to be as good as the original and Webley say the NEW `XS` won`t have a shrouded barrel so maybe it to will be allowed into Australia aswell (Sound moderators are illegal out here )

 

Good luck anyway - Druid

 

BTW. Does anyone know what the delay is with the new XS model as I thought it was coming out at the end of July 2010 ??
