the gibbon Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I have just got my new gun the webley venom viper. The gun is very nice to hold and light at around 6lb. can't use the gun yet because its raining. The thing that i did not like is that webley had got the raider manual and just folded a piece of paper round it saying the venom viper. The manual is a cheap photo copy! Webley must realy want to save some money!! Pics will be coming and i will tell you how well it shoots soon!! The Gibbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi. Gibbon, I have noticed that with many new guns I have bought over the years from various manufacturers the paper work and instruction manuals have been of very poor quality. The best I can remember is from Weirauch, and the stuff I got from BSA with my Hornet I am sure was recycled toilet paper. Its a shame that these companies are letting them selves down on the promotional front but then again it is an ultra competitive market and every penny counts I suppose.

the gibbon Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi FM Air arms sent me a realy good manual with the tx200 i had. But i would hope that by saving money on the manual they would spend more on the guns so in the end you get a better gun All the best The Gibbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeymagic Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Ive always been tempted by the Venom Viper. I pretty sure its just a Webley Raider, but shortened, lightened and given the Venom treatment. I could only ever find them in .22, im a .177 man myself. The Raider is a fine gun, much underrated in my opinon. I had a 2 Shot with a cracking walnut stock (also .22 only ). Honest couldnt fault it. Let us know how you get on with it.
