fenton88 6 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi New to the forum, had a year of two of shooting, didn’t have the time with my old job. Just purchased a new Webley raider 10 ( Turkish) so I thought I’d give you all a honest opinion, I’m no trigger snob or technical master mind when it comes to guns and wanted to purchase my first PCP. My old gun was a HW77 (old school), for those of you who know this is a great gun but it’s heavy. The raider 10 looked a good buy, 10 shot magazines, very efficient silencer good blueing and felt light in the hand. I took the gun and a selection of pellets to zero it in with my scope. It was during this that I learnt that the raider 10 is a very accurate gun, and paired with my scope managed to give me a good set of grouping with a number of pellets, however with my gun I was getting the best groupings with Bisley magnums. I appear to get around 50 good shots out of a charge; I am filling it up using a small diver’s bottle. One problem I do tend to find is that the filling prone does tend to leak a bit of air when filling. I replaced the o rings, added grease and a small wrap of PTFE tape below the second O ring before the nutt and this appears to have helped a lot. I also found during zeroing the rifle in that the bolt was jamming and the magazine was not indexing itself ( about 2 shots out of 10, I went back to the gun shop who contacted Webley on my behalf who told me how to correct the issue over the phone. The technical term was to stick a screw driver down the back plate and bend the small arm a tiny bit more. I will be keeping a very close eye on this, as I don’t feel I shouldn’t have had this issue on a brand new rifle when I have not had a good hunt yet. However it now seems to work like a dream and I am happy with my purchase. Pros Price 10 shot magazine Accurate One of the most silent air guns I have heard Nice weight Good power Cons Issue with the magazine Stock scratches very easy filling prone bit poor This is my first review on the forum, so please be gentle with me.

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Basically it is the Webley Raider, mine was an ace little PCP, accurate, quiet, nicely made, had a filling problem as well, but it was my filler line, not the probe. I like these, they handle well! Plus you get two magazines! Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well it is made by the same company in Turkey, Walthar barrelled, also if you speak to bmwmotard on here he can tell you what the build quality is like! He turned one into a bullpup! Quote Link to post
